If anyone still wants a simple cool TLD .com, try out names with hyphens. They're almost completely unexplored and I personally see no downside (except typing the domain in a mobile keyboard but who types domains anyways).

> If anyone still wants a simple cool TLD .com, try out names with hyphens. You mean the minus sign? Few know how to type the actual unicode hyphen with the keyboard. Not to be confused with dash, but short or long one?... and here start your problems.

there is only one symbol on a standard keyboard

Is English your second language? I guess everyone is more suspicious since GPT-3 came out and a bunch of people made ML generated blog posts etc. FWIW I found your comment understandable.

Not a second language. But spent the last decade largely speaking a second (or third) language and/or with ESL speakers. Perhaps that's starting to rub-off! Oh dear.. Not sleeping right for the past few days may also be a factor. GPT-3 paranoia may also be a thing.

I mostly work and socialise with people who have English as a second language. I have noticed myself simplifying sentences a fair bit too, reducing idiom use, and so on. But perhaps not to the same extreme :)

Yeah, I used to speculate in domain names, and the ones that are coming up remind me of the crap ones I used to register before I knew what I was doing. Every once in a while you come up with unused ones that really stick out (like I remember there was "atomictangerine.com"), but otherwise I would recommend trying something more recognizable in a different tld (like "helloworld.blue" or something—there are a lot thes…

Is there a market for niche TLD domains? If so, who are the people buying / using them?

"helloworld.blue" sounds completely worthless to me. Even "hello.blue" - who would buy that for more than a few hundred dollars, and for what?
