Maybe. Still wild to find startups getting millions can’t afford to buy a .com domain

  it's not that they can't afford to buy one. it's that they're not available. and now a lot of other tlds have gained traction so it's now reasonable to consider others.

    I would assume that for most foo.ai domains, foo-ai.com would also be available. So it’s more about naming preferences, and sometimes lack of imagination for coming up with an available name.

      foo-ai.com looks like a phishing domain targeting foo.ai

      A hyphen in a URL is a non-starter.

        "non-starter"? In a URL? You mean URLs and not domain names? Why are these "non-starters"? What is special or wrong about hyphens? Do you avoid clicking these for moral reasons? You do understand that they are perfectly legal anywhere, and acceptable in the character set by all RFCs? What makes them so odious to you?

  The squatters really jack up the prices. Yet somehow they pay pennies to squat on domains for decades. It's really a scandal.
