Automattic and .blog

We are a tiny company so it hurts a little each time the domain name renews. But I think the domain is worth it. Getting the domain in 2016 helped shape what Micro.blog would become.</p>\n<p>I mention this because I don\u2019t see Automattic stabbing its customers in the back and shutting down domains, cutting off a revenue source. What would be the point? A single subscription might not be very much to a multi-million dollar company like Automattic, but Automattic is built on thousands of subscriptions.
