I've been reading through the threads here over the past few days and it seems like the new gTLDs started out with a lot of promise. Both investors and end users were snatching them up. But now, it feels like the rush has fizzled out and rather quickly at that. In your opinion, what led to the downfall of the new gTLDs?
I primarily blame it on two things. First, too many new gTLDs were released at once, so the supply was much greater than the demand. Second, some companies held back the high-value domain names instead of releasing them to the public. Even the companies that promised not to reserve domains did so which hurt their reputations.
