The .zip TLD sucks
Not sure it matters that much.<p>Most non-technical people I know wouldn't have a clue what a .zip was. Windows has hidden file extensions by default now for decades. And having a phishing link in an email that says something.zip but links to somethingelse.com is a basic scammer 101 level technique. Why would it matter if the .zip was a real part of the URL or not.<p>Don't get me wrong, I dislike all of the generic TLDs, and the registration process behind them. But of all the points to argue on them, this seems like the weakest and least relevant.
