.wtf — should you use it?
Generic TLD · introduced 2014
The short answer
Pure attitude. Brilliant for irreverent side projects and viral tools; radioactive for anything that meets procurement.Why it works
- Instantly funny and memorable
- Cheap
- Great availability for punchy names
Why it might not
- Unsendable in corporate email contexts
- The joke has to keep landing forever
The longer take
A .wtf domain is a tone commitment. For a roast generator or a meme tool it's perfect; for anything with a pricing page aimed at companies, pick a second domain.
