Traffic leakage ?
It’s a myth that was spread by Verisign in order to convert .extension owners to .com ... thus to depreciate the market share of new .extensions altogether
If there was traffic leaking, then why would Verisign even consider the notion of investing in new .extensions ... the paid $100,000,000 in 1999 over a 20 year period for contract rights to own .tv
Then the contract ended, .tv is now owned by GoDaddy
Verisign was caught using a shell company a couple years ago, Nu Dot Co to acquire .web for $135,000,000 USD ...
Do you wanna see the contract ?
You wanna see how Afilias offered Verisign a bribe of $17.5M to abandon the auction that ICANN hosted ... Verisign declined, offered to sell Afilias .health ... Afilias countered and said “sell it to Donuts” ...
Now why would a company like Verisign who has a $200 a share stock invest in new technology or new .extensions “knowing” that there is domain leakage and could “negatively” effect business’
Honestly, please tell me ^ because either Verisign knows that there is domain leakage and doesn’t give a $hit and doesn’t tell the consumer and that’s fraud or Verisign doesn’t acknowledge domain leakage (because) it doesn’t exist ... the only person that ever discusses domain leakage is pro .com investors who made their money off .com (so) why would they feel the need to support any new .extensions ... Or it’s some company like Overstock who has been trying to get their hands on O.com ever since it was announced, funny thing, the name is for sale ^ Verisign refuses to sell O.com because they cannot profit off the proceeds ... please bring in the downvotes while you’re @ at, I have my SEO certification (so) I kinda have a good idea of what I’m talking about here,
I for one have never met a single person in the last 5 years who has mistaken a new .extension and replaced it with a .com (but) maybe it’s my fault, maybe I’m hanging with only intelligent people who can see and think for themselves ...

One name is worth $10,000,000 + because “we” say so / the other - shop.app is owned by Shopify, they paid $200,000 for the name ... shop.app is ranking by 300% above shop.com ... what gives ?
https://cash.com

One is hand registered, one is worth $10,000,000 + ... one is ranking by 1000% over the .com and represents one of the most powerful P2P platforms in the states ... if they wanted to ^ they could write a check and buy the .com / they don’t though ...
And so I say again, domain leakage ? If there was domain leakage, why are the ranking numbers in the favor of the non .com domains ...
Let me answer that ^ because there is no domain leakage and if you can effectively and properly market your company, no consumer is going to confuse your company ... (only) someone who doesn’t go online often ... the older generation
