How popular will the nTLDs be within the next 3 years?

I want your honest feedback and I am looking for mixed opinions, for a balance debate. There is not right or wrong answers.

i think the real pain in the ass will be the brands tld because only licensed people can reg them.
When people will know that websites on brand tld are 100% trusted it can become hard for investors.
Luckily for us create a brand tld is not cheap, but things could change in the future. just my opinion

Would be a trademark issue anyway so no impact on investors.

Let's take TLDs as nations, if new TLDs manage to acquire a huge population of citizens, and if those citizens manage to build many great artifacts, they stand a chance of being popular.

My fear is that these new TLDs may become too many leading to extreme dilution. Some may go into extinction even before they have a chance of making an established showing.

.app will bring attention to ngtlds as a lot of users will visit .app website (cloud applications?)

In the tech startup universe .XYZ will compete with .io and .Tech

.Link the perfect extension for companies to keep track of their online marketing efforts.

.web will be another great alternative to .com and ccTLDs

End users switching from .net to .web.

I think names where there's a connection between the left and right of the dot (coffee.club, used.cars, etc) will have nice value, I don't see numerics or certain patterns holding value for much longer.
