alt Hacker News> YC startups are abandoning .com
They are not "abandoning" .com domains. They are just really hard to find available or cheap enough to buy, so they launch with something else instead!
.com will always be king

Maybe. Still wild to find startups getting millions can’t afford to buy a .com domain

Bingo. either you bough a .com a while ago or you have to pay a lot.
A while ago we had the .ly domains. Now .ai. Things change depending on "fashion" if you can call it that.
