I’m with you in principle. But realistically, scalper-driven scarcity is a big problem in the big three TLDs, and nearly all the new generic TLDs have at least one of price, governance, or length problems that make them unappealing.

I got very annoyed when we got TLDs like “IO” for Indian Ocean, and then the tech community adopted it for the generic reference of “input output” sounding very techie. Granted, I grumble about everything that goes into site naming for modern tech sites.
There’s some good TLDs, and there was never anything wrong with “.net”, “.biz”, or even “.game”. People should stop using the ones designed for particular countries for being convenient abbreviations, and go to intent focus.

I had no idea that was what that TLD meant. TIL, thank you!

jus too i ring out that a majority of they regular names are already taken, that’s one of the primary reasons why new TLDs are such a blessing
