Hey buddy, we're just having a discussion on the internet about our pet peeves, there's nothing personal about it. You are perfectly justified in _not using_ the domains, because there are people like you out there who will block the use. This is my major contribution to the discussion. But you must understand my plight, since in my view you are part of the problem. You don't just _not use_ the domains, you _actively block the use_. The research I found was that yes, most of these domains were registered for spammy purposes back when the new TLDs were new, in say 2015. So it was recommended to block them at an organizational level (by several prominent, well-respected neutral ISAC and other groups, who were very short-sighted about it IMHO). Since then, several years have gone by and as you cited, many organizations are using them now, but you (and others) persist in blocking their legitimate uses with a blanket ban. And as long as you and people like you remain, that continue blocking them by default, so shall they remain mostly spammy, since nobody can register them and expect to use them for anything important, without this grief. https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/gvya4m/study-100-of-websites-in-these-two-top-level-domains-are-shady https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/gvya4m/study-100-...
