I’m quite appalled. Pre-order now! Wonderful new TLD! Buy! But, it will cost an extra $1m if you want to do it now. Later than that, pay less but wait longer, and risk losing it. So, pay up or get lost. Can’t afford $1m for a domain? Sorry, bozo, maybe you can have the scraps when the bullies are done eating. This whole business is massive trash. The days of owning your own domain with any kind of nice name are fadin…
Why are brands and businesses already using it if it’s only just launch.ing?
I've reached generic TLD fatigue. There's a new one each week. I regularly buy domains with OVH since they have a wide array of TLDs at a good price[0]. Over the years I let many of them expire because either 1) I let my dreams die, or 2) I couldn't afford to renew it. Mostly it's because I let my dreams die, not financial shortcomings though.

Explain why it’s a huge mistake, please.
I think the idea is ambiguity between a zip file from your coworkers website and an entirely separate phishing website which downloads an entirely different zip file with a malicious payload. Anything that introduces unnecessary and previously unforseen ambiguity to the olds is just another path to filling the internet with scams
I'd be very entertained by drama from owners of those domains, but in my opinion, such a thing would be completely justified.
I checked for cod.ing and they said it was available. I got my hopes up and went to Godaddy. It costs over $38,000. I guess in some ways that’s good because the purchaser would more likely be someone who wants to launch a legit business or project rather than a squatter. But as others have pointed out, this whole thing is a blatant money grab.
Conspiracy theory here: if you go to a big player like GoDaddy they'll sell their queries and some party will see the domain you want and squat it unless you register right away. Just use the whois command in your terminal.

Domains have been replaced with apps and search anyway. Outside of maybe the top 100 domains, how many people are actually typing out a domain?
The DNS is serious internet infrastructure, not your play toy. The practice of selling TLDs to every two bit dotcom was a mistake and needs to end.
The mistake was to let Postel mismanage DNS pretty much alone without any significant oversight or defined policies, that set the groundwork for dns to be free for all wild west of which the current situation is just natural consequence

Does it even matter anymore? Domains have been replaced with apps and search anyway. Outside of maybe the top 100 domains, how many people are actually typing out a domain?
You can’t register tlds with those names anyway (a random person can’t register google.xyz) so why bother with extensions? Maybe not get rid of the altogether but as an alternative?
