Aside: feel like reliability of bunch of the newer TLDs and acceptance of them has increased a ton in the last 2 years. Way more random sites out there like .dev .xyz .fun .club too that are used by people for small and large projects. I recently was out shopping for something new and noticed more which companies own huge swathes of the newer TLDs... donuts Inc etc... And they seem to be doing an ok job maintaining etc. All good. The .com space is still king but having more options that aren't polluted like the last round of new TLDs like .biz got, or write ccTLD hacks like .up and whatever that were popular for awhile but risky and expensive, is good.
geez sorry mobile typos/corrections messed up last sentence:
