Personally I would never have considered the company name zipchat as soon as I realised zip.chat was already taken
Guy boasts about spending $40k on a domain they "won't even use" because apparently most people just go straight to zipchat.com - so why are you using a .ai domain then?? 
Also, if you are "investing massively into brand awareness" maybe you could try tagging the correct account...

Tweet from Ruslan Leteyski saying:
"I spent $40,000 on a domain we won't even use, here's why:
- We're investing massively into brand awareness for @Zipchat ( YouTube, Social Media & so on )
- Majority of our search traffic ( Google ; App store ) comes from the keyword "zipchat" )
- Most people just type http://zipchat.com and then go to Google when the site doesn't load. We just eliminated this friction.
Even if we get 1 customer per month from this, it's still going to have a positive ROI over the long term."
Attached to the post is a graphic showing a fake instant messaging conversation where an inbound message asks, "Wait, how much did we pay for a domain?" and an outbound message answers, "$40,000. And, we won't even use it". Then underneath in large type it says "$40,000 for zipchat.com".
A profile card on the right shows the handle is actually @ZipChatAI not @Zipchat
Fedi user complains that all non-original gTLDs are useless garbage that they should block... while posting from a .social instance

Screenshot of a Mastodon post on an instance using a .social domain:
"Oh, goody. #ICANN has announced it's opening up applications for new generic top-level domains.
All the ones added since they first started doing this - i.e. when the only generic TLDs were .com, .net, and .org - are, as far as I can see, garbage and useless.
Every single email I have ever received from a domain under .biz, .online, .shop, and all the other "new" GTLDs has been either spam, scam, or phishing.
I should just block all these TLDs completely, and any other new ones this results in."

Testing out a simple blogging method because I'm excited about the new gTLD program 2026 round and what that means for all the silly new domain possibilities for fedi instances and bsky handles
Exciting to think how many new gTLDs we could get out of this though some are surely set to fail (like .con and .nil being too close to .com and .mil) which is wild since it costs $227k per TLD application
