The "concept" of tlds was already pretty much destroyed with .com boom. Even in late 90s there was basically no true organization or hierarchy on the top level, .com/.org/.net etc were all free for all and most cctlds did not establish any 2nd level domains either (uk being prominent counter-example)
- CydeWeys 3y agoThe only hierarchy that really exists and makes sense is the ccTLDs, but only some of them. .de, .cn, .fr, .uk, etc., these are mostly registered by people and businesses within the actual country and used within the country as well. But there's so many other ccTLDs like .us, .io, .ai, .ly, .me, .co, etc., where they're functionally just two-letter generic TLDs, and the hierarchy doesn't work for them.
