I wonder who’ll end up buying the archive.org domain and what they’ll use it for
The archive isn't completely dead with that yet. There is still a lot of free domain stuff and private uploads on there. A lot of public records too.
And I think you can't just randomly buy a .org domain, can you? You have to be officially a nonprofit.
I remember for example couchsurfing had to change from a .org to .com when their tax exempt status was rejected by the irs and they went for profit.
You definitely can just buy a .org, I own multiple.
