No bias legit look better than a dot com.
What do you really know about gTLDs? Last I read your investments were in the dot-com realm. And although I'm sure they have paid off for you, it does not mean we live in a word of absolutes because of your successes.It DOESN'T look better!
You guys are convincing yourself of things not true. Delusional is the first word that comes to mind.
First the AVERAGE consumer knows nothing about ANY of these extensions. NOTHING!
When/if they do, it will be a handful and you may be very old and very BROKE!
Secondly, when used, does not look like a url. Looks like a typo!
Third, you MUST put "www" before the new gtld's so it does not look like a typo and folks KNOW it is a url. They don't NOW! Don't be lazy.
Fourth, .com is to the Internet like the 800 number is to the phone.
Fifth, .com is the single most advertised THING in the history of mankind.
Been writing about the pitfalls for 6 YEARS! Too many to list.
But most importantly, you are wasting VERY valuable time chasing shadows and shiny objects.
I wish you all the best!
The world is changing all the time and so the people. Younger generations are/will learn in the school that Internet is everything right of the dot now.
More and more younger entrepreneurs will ask themselves why it should be .com right of the dot, while itself .com has no inherent value besides its legacy as one of the first extensions being introduced and as such so heavily promoted.
More and more start-ups and new businesses will be using ngtlds, and some of them will be Future 500 companies some time, let alone hundreds of thousands of smaller ones. Imho ngtld revolution will come from the bottom.
Now we see brick and mortar businesses fading slower or faster, and the same thing will happen with dot-com imho. Dot-com will be first among equals, it is so evident.

While I can appreciate your patriotism to a TLD that was released over 30 years ago, it is incorrect to assume there nothing more to domain names other than what your experience is.
Lets go over a couple of your points:
1) The average consumer knows more and more everyday. But people like you try to bury innovations you're not vested in.
2) It looks like a type? Really? It's only a typo if it is a typo.
3) Using WWW in your url is quickly becoming outdated. This is another old world habit. Nothing wrong with it, but it's just a waste of space. Plus IMO most new G's look far better without it.
4) Agreed.
5) Agreed.
Anyone that says not to depend on gTLD investments as a primary source of income, I completely concur. There is also a much bigger risk factor. Many of the rules (or lack there-of) are hazy. But most of us are aware of this, all common knowledge.
Properly combined, there are many better looking domains in a gTLD capacity than there are in the traditionals. Looks can kill, and if you have it you can be sure it will turn heads, as well as wallets.
I wish you well.
delusion+ wishful thinking
people don't learn about domains at school and even if they were to learn about them they would only learn the status quo, .com, .net .org
why would a school have any interest in teaching fringe extensions.?
Also do you have time to wait for generations for your investments to pay off?
no domain extension have any inherent value, it's a popularity contest not a beauty contest.
what is used is valuable. the new extensions are worthless because no one uses them.
since they are 20 years late and no better why would they disrupt the marketplace?
companies have been using .net and org and .info for years. it never changed anything.
there is a big difference between brick and mortar which is an outdated model compared to e-commerce and new TLD vs .com they are mostly the same with the new extension not having a significant advantage over the old ones.
.com is better because you know immediately that you are seeing a domain while word.word is not as easily recognized as such.
short 1 word .coms are even better because you can not make 1 word domains with the new TLDs, except word.xyz etc.
home.brand is not better than brand.com don't kid yourself. It is not a real alternative.

gTLD domains will be FORCED to used the OUTDATED WWW to define their url AS a url because they look like TYPOS not head turners.
Lastly, they are already crumbling as we speak. No need. No want. No desire. No value and the gTLD's are 1.1 MILLION registrations down in April alone with millions more dropping very soon. Does not look like growth to me. Looks like a crash! https://ntldstats.com/tld
I just wonder..how can one loose money in new gTLDs? I do not really get it..I know that I lost more money in gTLD's then anyone has made with them other than registries. So I paid my dues and learned.
Not here to burst your bubble, just have some of you folks get a grip on reality.
The AVERAGE consumer could not name 10 extensions with a fully loaded gun to their head.

I have 6 years of gTLD pitfalls I have written about and NOBODY has any answers to those pitfalls.

Major changes in the global trade system are taking place right now. After years of US led globalization, China and other rapidly expanding non-Western economies are significantly altering the global power and economic structure. The global middle class has displaced the Western middle class as the driver of global economic growth. As a result, the median Western consumer does not drive corporate bottom lines anymore, but rather it is the upper income segment in Western countries, along with the emerging world middle classes that do so (incomes in Asia have increased fivefold in the last half-century while Western median income has barely increased at all during the same period).Ironically, the world has been moving away from .com, but toward ccTLDs (I've said it so many times). There is no future for new extensions, they will remain oddities at best.
Because it is very the purpose of school to teach all extensions, not legacy ones only.
Those that want to argue to win, can win. Go win the argument. I don't care.
But you will lose the battle by ignoring reality.
That's LOONY! You really think THAT is the VERY purpose of school?
Everything you argue is based on wishful thinking and what others will learn and do. It's not coherent or based on how the real world works.

Same behavior as the IDN guys did. They all crashed and burned too. Where are they now? GONE and BROKE! Of course "I" was the idiot for not buying their KOOL.AID. They drank it and went broke. Cheers! lol
