> THE .EXPOSED TLD This TLD is attractive and useful to end-users as it better facilitates search, self-expression, information sharing and the provision of legitimate goods and services. Along with the other TLDs in the Donuts family, this TLD will provide Internet users with opportunities for online identities and expression that do not currently exist. In doing so, the TLD will introduce significant consumer choice and competition to the Internet namespace – the very purpose of ICANN’s new TLD program.
> .EXPOSED will be utilized by registrants seeking new avenues for expression on the Internet. There is a deep history of progressivity and societal advancement resulting from the online free expressions of criticism. Individuals and groups will register names in .EXPOSED when interested in editorializing, providing input, revealing new facts or views, interacting with other communities, and publishing commentary.
> better facilitates... the provision of legitimate goods and services.
Like what? A risque lingerie shop at balls.exposed or something? And new TLDs don't in any way facilitate "better search", you know, nor "information sharing".

Sorry, the what family?

What does this phrase even mean?

"Considered harmful" etc.

Still not sure how "provision of legitimate goods" fits into this. Or the floating point formats, for that matter.
So windows.sucks and linux.sucks are available and 2000 USD/year, emacs.sucks is 200 USD/year and vi.sucks is already registered (but no website unfortunately)!
On the other hand linux.rocks and windows.rocks are taken (no website), vi.rocks is 200 USD/year and emacs.rocks is just 14 USD/year.
microsoft.sucks redirects to microsoft.com, but microsoft.rocks is just taken :thinking:
Pretty sure there's a domain monitoring service for similarly or something along these lines that buys up domains like these to prevent usage.
On that note, I've been trying to see if GoDaddy will buy a domain and resell for higher price by searching for some plausibly nice domain names on their site. They haven't took the "bait" yet.

For the same reason there's a .sucks TLD. There's a market for it.
