More interesting than YouTube being down is the fact that YouTube doesn’t appear to have an official status page that is exposed externally.

Reported by 3rd party sites for reference:

Say I'm running a SaaS product, example.com.

Somebody has bought several domains like getexample.com, buyexample.io, joinexample.net, and is 301 redirecting them to example.com.

What's their play here? Is this setup for a phishing attack in the future? Are they just going to try and sell the domains to me in the future? Not encountered behaviour like this before (or at least, I don't know if this is the beginning phase of a common scam)
