This is sensible. Also the established TLDs seem to have a larger clue stick. Look at the recent .io domain shenanigans: https://thehackerblog.com/the-io-error

- discombobulate 9y agoThe market for the new gTLDs is consolidating. They're not a one-man shop, like .io was. Donuts Inc. secured a $100mm in funding, for example. The namespace is wide open. You can get cheap names which look great, are easy to say, short, & memorable. Brand names. Keyword rich. They may not be the best for some markets, given. For forward-thinking demographics, the inverse is probably true. They're not going away. There're more coming. Large companies use them.
- kijeda 9y agoThe .io domain has been around since the 1990s. It is well established.
- maxton 9y agoI don't think you can compare .io, a ccTLD, with the new gTLDs. It's apples and oranges.
