There's another serious problem with newer TLDs: there are millions of websites out there that "validate" email addresses against hardcoded lists of known/valid TLDs. Anyone who spends $1000+ on a fancy domain is going to be extremely frustrated when every other week or month they stumble on another site that refuses to accept their email address as valid.

The only safe domains for everyday use are .com, .net, and .org - and the well-known country codes that have been around for at least 10 years. Anything else is going to cause you headaches, and your "investment" for a short memorable domain name is not going to feel worthwhile.

Plus, the registrars are scum with these TLDs. Just stay away.

Yup, and whole companies are blocking new TLDs. Too much spam.
