Anyone who uses Twitter in 2020 has noticed an uptick in warnings added to tweets. Especially if you are involved in the political arena. These flags or warnings added to tweets have even turned into a meme, with many brands poking fun at themselves or the competition. Well it’s not just limited to politicians and […]

Of course years ago one Twitter founder said domain names were losing their importance.

https://tldinvestors.com/2011/06/ev...s-why-domains-are-getting-less-important.html

In the last year the need for domain names has become painfully obvious due to companies, like Twitter, censoring and adding disputing commentary to posts, such as what they did here. With their own domain, people can speak their minds without, as Zuckerberg said, “arbiters of truth” interfering.

For investors obviously dot com is not where the money holds...nevertheless dot com is on top and I don’t see any other extension taking that away from it ...even if it came from Donald Trump off Twitter

Snoopy is right in his post on the article. This is not a disclaimer added by Twitter.
It is part of the tweet itself.

There is no way Twitter is going to care about this. They allow endless stock and crypto pumping, misinformation, and scams. This would never be on their radar.

I was 3 minutes late haha, sometimes it doesn't refresh new posts directly.
But the post in itself is a bit misleading in the end, or clickbait

Nice try... on the original tweet by Victor Ma he added the text alert by himself, but on the tweet that appears on the article the twitter alert has been photoshopped.

Twitter is becoming less important. We can thank God for that.

I have to agree with this now.

Years ago Twitter and Facebook maybe right. Business owners prefer to have a page rather than a domain. After 2016, politically opinionated business owners get frustrated when their personal accounts get banned, thus affecting their business pages, specially if they are currently running ads.

Twitter did not add that warning to that post. Victor Ma pasted that supposed notice to the text of his tweet using a Unicode font. Please correct the article and close this thread.

It says that in the article. No need to shut speech down in this forum, it's not Twitter :hungry:

:xf.grin:

Fair. Though at this point, since the snippet in this post (and the title of the article on the website) reflect a non-truth, it is essentially click-bait.

Since the fake has already been highlighted by a few post(er)s and most have recognized it anyway, in my opinion there is no need to close the thread.
The title, however, should indeed be changed accordingly.

basically

Domain names changed when the new gtlds were issued

Many domain name investors still live in a pre 1995 mindset

That isnt the problem of new domain name investors

Ultra premuim 2 letter .coms and
2 number .coms and sone one word .coms are still worth a few quid

But a new domain nane investor with a budget of for example
£50 isnt going to be able to buy a
2 letter .com so they may instead buy 3 x 2 keyword .com s and
3 new gtlds etc

The problem with the domain name industry is that because brokers hover round the top 1/4% of domain names they are completely oblivious that 99.75% of the domain name industry doesnt own ferrari s

But the domain name industry is about to change when the
uk personalised numberplate industry enters the domain name industry

Most of the uk rich celebs buy their
uk personalised number plates from the uk personalised number plate registrars for their expensive sports cars especially footballers in the premier league etc and they wont be buying trademarked rubbish but will pay top dollar for thourougjly trademark checked domain names with all inclusive domain name insurance with their own dedicated broker etc

Then you have

Twitter that allegedly owns

T. Co

And

Amazon that owns

A. Co

Tell amazon they need the .com

Lol

.com Domain name investors tell people they need the .com

Usually becaise they are sitting on a large portfolio of dot coms they need to shift

When the reverse os true

If you own a

2 keyword .com

You have no choice but to buy the gtld because the gtld owns a
2 keyword dot coms brand

All good fun
