I look forward to seeing more and more extensions slowly becoming mixed in the general pot of domains. Company brand extensions are another very interesting aspect of how this will continue to happen.
I view .com as the simple default, thats really it. It was the only choice for two decades and that is what people are simply familiar with. I dont believe that is something that will last forever. With Boomers and older folks, they will always be .com people. Other extensions are creeping their way in slowly but surely. Every year I notice a few more extensions gaining use in up and coming niches. Just got to break that over dependence on familiarity and default status for a general public that slowly gets smarter and realizes they don't need to be mindless when it comes to choosing a brand.
Saying that it will last forever is a bit of a stretch, but it's certainly will last for the foreseeable future.I view .com as the simple default, thats really it.

No....GPT....whatsoever....was....used.Nice gpt
.Com will surely garner respect from people with an appreciation for yesterday's internet structure. The extension will definitely hold value among a certain age demographic more than anything else moving forward. This is to be expected. However, as the digital realm continues to evolve more people will leverage a variety of extensions for personal and professional endeavors.No matter where we go, end up, always remember our roots. Dot-com will always command respect far into the future imo, similar to generation wealth, old money. Read:

The value and demand doesn't go down because they build more options inland.

My analogy is based on location, aka prime real estate is always in demand. Quality .COM is prime internet real estate.Remember, the horse and carriage had its time......until the automobile came along. .Com had its heydey. It'll forever have relevance in the history of the internet. Just don't count on the grandkids loving it.

Yours is based on technology.
Obviously motorized vehicles were a major technological advancement that made people's lives better.
You might have an argument if .COM worked any different than other extensions. Centralized domains all basically work the same.
Why is a 1-800 number still in more demand than a 1-844 or 1-833 number? They work the same.
All the kids today are still going to see almost all large companies operating on .COM.
How many Fortune 500 companies don't use .COM, especially on the consumer facing websites?
I invest in other extensions as well, but there is no indication that .COM won't continue to dominate even if a handful of other options also have value.

Hi
i remember when silly ass emojis were supposed to take over and when apps were supposed to take over and when facebook was supposed to take over, and when .mobi and .pw and handshakey, etc, etc., etc.
and yet .com is still #1
i just wonder about those who didn't see that or those who don't see it now.
sure, you can brand on another extension, but .com is already branded!
imo....
If and when that happens, it won't be a "moment". It'll be a process.The moment a non-.com TLD is synonymous with something people need, and want, is the moment .com loses its momentum. This is actually happening as we speak with wallet domains.
@QUAD DOMAINS
It would be helpful if you could substantiate your claims with some sources and facts about actual use at the moment, without too much wishful thinking. Incidentally, I am someone who has invested heavily in new gtlds in the past and have now returned to mainly .com domains.
