It's great to be able to get silly domains for projects, back to the old days of IRC vanity hosts, but can you imagine seeing a link to something like jackets.luxury and going "yeah that seems legit, I'm definitely giving them my card details"
Yes that is completely normal and the my younger relatives would not even think twice.
In the TikTok and Instagram community people are spending billions not only on random domains (like tiedyeshirts.xyz) but often to venmo or zelle listed on profiles. My sister and thousands like her send money to faceless profiles to buy mystery boxes.
By that logic, would you pull out your credit card if you got linked jacketsluxury.com? .luxury is about twice as expensive as .com so I'm more suspicious of .com sites than of vanity TLDs.
I think there's a generational divide here, the older people seem to distrust more recent TLDs for some reason while younger people don't really care about them.
