What is your opinion about new domain zones?

Question

Domain name market

How do you feel about domain zones, for example, .wtf .link .club .zone .gift, etc.
How do search engines react?

Answer 1

In general, domain zones are losing their former importance, since in 90% of cases the transition to these sites comes from search engines. And here a good, memorable name of the site already decides, and not the domain zone where it is located.
On the other hand, this is a business, domain registrars must live on something). If earlier it was enough for a company to register company.com and pay $20 a year, now please buy another 10-20 names in different domain zones (more on that), and place mirrors there. And now domain registrars have increased their income from one company from $20 per year to $200+ per year! Solid profit!
