type-in traffic is slowly vanishing
this isn't about type-in's

so what.. you spent all yours on the domain and all you get is type-ins
so there is never a point in buying anything other than .com ?
how many .xxx's have you bought to compare results ? oh none .. so basically you are saying you have no facts to base a valuation as you have never bought one and compared...
Do you own any tld's than .com ? hmm so why dont you take your own advice , throw them away and buy all of them in .com ?

so does everyone we just dont have 7 figures for the domains.
the brandability of having a one word .xxx compared to a 3 word .com outweighs your argument.
if i have 6 figures to throw at a .com i will buy the .com , until then .xxx has plenty of value.

works better than throwing 15k at a domain for nothing more than a few type-ins
