What do you think about the new TLDs ?

[alakazam]

I checked out Namecheap recently, and they have a long list of new TLDs that I had no idea existed until recently. Have you seen them? What do you think about them?

Some of them are pretty cool (.best, .dance, .works), but other are just ridiculous (.foundation, .democrat, .exposed).

Well, it's all depends on what is your poison.

Over 20 years ago when I just started making my first steps online, we had
3 basic TLDs .com .net and .org but today "domain is taken" message is thing
of the past, and it's just a beginning.

You will have complete Webster Dictionary of TLDs and regardless if you
like it or not, this is where future of Internet is going to be.

I you have some great idea of unique domain name with those extensions, it would be great but I think so those domains are only for static company's sites.

I personally think that it's way too many. .Com is king, and will continue to be for a decent length of time.

It's just hard as well to remember all of these extensions.

i do like the .exposed one if you want to start a website like pic.exposed the tld going with the domain sound.

I think the new .trade is very good. We will see.

I think it will clutter the SERP with even more sites trying to rank for their keywords, as well as websites with extensions no one will remember, which will be good for the .com's of those site names, as most people by default just type in websitename.com, so those sites will get their traffic

I don't see these new extensions becoming popular anytime soon.
