Ask HN: Do you have an aversion to recent TLDs?

I noticed recently that I tend to subconsciously avoid websites visiting websites using more recent TLDs, like .space, .app, etc.

After some introspection I realized that they feel dodgy and "fake" to me. I was wondering if this was a personal eccentricity or something other people experience.

I kind of like omg.lol, and I'm intrigued by .ooo but haven't seen it in use yet.

I'd probably avoid something like games.fun or music.biz, those just sound unpersuasive.

> omg.lol

I wouldn't say that counts. It looks like it's just a fancy redirect service with a "community".

Per your question, though, I've learned not to be averse to it.
