Maybe the way it happened involved corruption. But I personally like the new TLD's, not all of them but some like .team, .work, .chat.
A few other sports specific domains are also nice, like .soccer, .tennis, .football ...
Almost all of the meaningful .com's .org's and .net's are gone. It's time we had new TLD's that make more sense.

- marcus_holmes 11y agoWhich reinforces the point. There are two companies (at least) called Apple. They are both allowed to have the same name because they are in different industries. If we only allow companies to have ".com" then which of these two companies, both called Apple, would have "apple.com"? Having multiple TLDs allows for disambiguation. It's a good thing.
