Not all the new TLDs are terrible. A few of the short ones like <dot>me [for a personal site], or <dot>info for a reference site are OK. But I think a lot of the other ones do sound really dodgy. If I saw a link to a company website with a domain name like <dot>bargains, <dot>blackfirday, <dot>creditcard, <dot>discount... [to pick just 4 at random near the top of a very long alphabetical list] I'd avoid them like the plague. They just set off alarm bells in my head that, at best, I'd be venturing on to some godawful spammy site, loaded down with a dozen hacky-tracky javascripts and, at worst, I'd be opening up my computer to god knows what insecure data processing. Funny how the <dot>xyz domain [which, to be fair, wasn't one of the worst of the new ones] attained a measure of respectability when adopted by Google, in their Alphabet guise.
