    Branded domains with quirky spelling (peepl, luv.ly, snapify) past their prime?

    (Domains in the post title made up by me) Do these kind of brands have any value in 2020? Or will they put people off now days? They were all the rage a few years back, but I can’t help thinking they may be going the way of the “e’” phenomenon of the early 2000’s (eShop, ePetsOnline etc.) If...
