Totally agree with this opinion. Backfire or not the goals is to tell folks is working.
Robert Monster expressed a good idea. If they switch to forever registration, they may have a good chance at survival.
I don't recall any mention of endorsement. I think the point that they were making is that if you look at special purpose country TLDs, like .tv, they work across the dot in the way that Rick.tv elegantly expresses his personal brand. They were saying you can do a similar thing with new gTLDs with the two sides of the dot in a unified way expressing the idea you want to promote. The .com (or any other) extension adds meaning in some contexts but not in others. If it is RedCross it definitely adds to have the extension .org. If it is for a large financial enterprise the .com is almost essential. But if you are doing a family website (one of their examples in the series), a .com does not add to the domain name any additional information, and therefore is not elegant design.Exactly, and buying a 2-letter ccTLD has absolutely nothing in common with endorsing new gTLDs.
What point are you trying to establish?Richard is a wise man, makes mistakes at times.
Donuts is catering to unknowledgeable, it seems.

The level of delusion on this forum is genuinely worrying - serves as my end here
Angel.co - not a brand? Tell Naval his business isn't a brand because he doesn't own a .com

Are you familiar with GoDaddy super bowl commercials? Probably some of the most memorable in commercials in the last two decades@Lox and what is mainstream anyways? CNN? LOL! TV would be extremely INEFFICIENT use of money. The 'mainstream' doesn't know CRAP about domain investing. Domaining has NEVER been mainstream. Who can we blame for that? The last 20 years of .COM'ers?
From a business perspective the effective marketing is where there's VALUE, where the customers tend to 'hang out' IE: online.
