Yes, you read that right.
THIRTEEN YEARS.
Tens of thousands of domainers.
Tens of Millions wasted.
All for less money than ONE .COM sale like One.com Web hosting - Domain • Hosting • E-mail or http://mini.com.

Let that sink in.
One .COM sale = More than the entire GTLD market. Not one TLD. The entire category!!

⸻

GTLDs were sold as a revolution. A gold rush. A COM-killer.

What did we get?
•$9 renewals turning into $100+ hostage fees
•Thousands of made-up extensions nobody remembers
•Junk extensions like .horse and .plumbing being pumped like they were the next .net
•An investor graveyard filled with “future-proof” domains that will never resolve to anything but disappointment

Let’s call this what it is:

A blood-sucking racket masked as innovation by folks that missed the boat and ha ha looking to create the second coming.

And now the numbers prove it.
13 years in… and they’ve produced less revenue than a single prime .COM domain!

⸻

The .COM era didn’t end. It buried everything else. They created a stampede, not an opportunity and most domainers got trampled and the extensions got slaughtered in the process!!

GTLDs didn’t disrupt .COM.
They reinforced it.

The real domainers?
They’re laughing all the way to the bank…
While GTLD fanboys are holding portfolios of worthless “brandables” they can’t even give away.

⸻

The verdict?

GTLDs aren’t just a failed experiment.
They’re a monument to delusion.

13 years.
$54 million.
Zero relevance.

Meanwhile .COM keeps adding zeros.
Already more sales in the first five months of 2025, then 13 years of the mirage! And that doesn’t even count the really big unreported sales that could easily double or triple these numbers.

It’s totally laughable so stop defending this bullshit because it makes you look like a fool with an agenda.

Case closed!

And they did so well let’s add another 2000 and do it again! Absolute fools and corruption at the highest level. And we will hear another chorus of 13 years of the same nonsense. Don’t swallow the bullshit, it tastes crappy!

It’s OK to name names. Who were the bastards that did this? I know. Do you?
