Which of the more popular/well-known/legacy TLDs do you avoid?

I know this is a loaded question, but I was just curious if there are any top tier TLDs in which you have ZERO domains and why?

Avoid All non-coms;
If you have to make an exception; i prefer country ccTLD ext (.co, .de, .us etc) over generic xyz ngtld. (Sorry, .xyz…) Or any Identity Digital (formerly donuts) extensions’

They have been there for a while; and i respect ccTLDs; especially “.io” which seems almost tech-exclusive now.

By legacy tlds I assume you mean older extensions like .biz, .net, .org, etc., correct?

If so, then .biz and .info should be in that list. I see no reason these days in anyone going for either of those extensions.

Yessss, .biz!!! rather xyz over .biz; true story. You’re good! You made me break my own rule.

Disagree on .info, i see “more, now: “How2recyle.info”

You know, I used to like .info but, with all those ngtlds that came after and the whole change in perception with the introduction of social services etc., I think .info should be considered obsolete.

For example, based on the domain you presented,

if I wanted to search for recycling (which coincidentally I did a couple of days ago :) ) I would go for a governmental website or a central hub of information coming from a well known global organisation rather than a random .info website.

imo
i think you are from Canada, right?
I‘m not sure if it’s a local East NY/NJ thing, but almost every product sold here, has this on the label. It‘s become almost ubiquitous with “SmartLabel.com” for further nutrition facts which you can make the same argument for; only… it’s com!!
But you get the point.

Yes, I apologize, I should have been more clear.
