Ask HN: What's your opinion on the new TLDs?

I've seen a lot of hate for the new TLDs from web developers and SEO guys so I'm very curious what Hacker News thinks of all the new TLDs.

View on HN

it's split. The regional ones can work (.nyc, .berlin, ...) and IMHO are useful for creating more specific namespaces.

Many others seem way to generic and/or create just another space to quickly fill up all the useful names in.

I think the war's over and .com won. These new TLDs will always make a company seem sketchy (with some exceptions for companies that have mostly an app presence, or for certain tech segments.)
