Just don't buy the "worthless digital monkeys" and they'll be so worthless that their value will be in the negatives; they'll give you money.
In fairness, they didn't buy the monkeys, they bought a spot on the blockchain that says they own the hyperlink to the picture of the monkey.
It's pretty funny to think about if they didn't bother to buy the actual domain that's in the Blockchain. I hope they didn't, and they get squatted later. That would make it even funnier.
I don't know about that specific example, but people have had whats at the other end of the link changed after the sale. Like, instead of the monkey, now its goatse or something.
That's why people sometimes prefer the URL to be an IPFS hash, that way the content is immutable. No guarantee that the content will always be available, but at least it can't be changed.
