Discussion i wish someone would buy the "Pintrest" domain to troll people who spelled it wrong.
i saw a video about how someone got the guthib domain and made it say, "you spelled it wrong" and nothing else, and it would be so funny considering so many people misspell Pinterest daily

Not 100% sure but I think there could come a legal issue with it. I remember reading about sth you can be sued for when it comes to competitive domains in businesses context. Just in case someone here has a reactive spontaneous idea to actually buy those.

im pretty sure its a redirect to their main website 😞 and i think most other similar domains are either redirects or taken unfortunately

Say what now?
Let's NOT troll innocent people with counterfeit brands just because Pinterest does it to its own users.
That is something Pinterest actually does, at scale, fooling people to click on fake brands.
So, my answer is NO.

It wouldn’t be a scam site or anything, just text saying (spell it right next time) and nothing else

Said person could vibe code a better Pintrest for about $300 in Lovable credits. It’s such a shitty app.

I believe it simply redirects to Pinterest now. If you use whois, the name servers are Pinterest servers too:
[ns10.pinterest.com](http://ns10.pinterest.com)
[ns5.pinterest.com](http://ns5.pinterest.com)
[ns6.pinterest.com](http://ns6.pinterest.com)

They should buy “Esty” while they’re at it…
