.so .sh TLD for startups – pros and cons?
Almost every tld is unavailable and I increasingly see more and more .so and .sh - but wondering if they are market as spam or neglected by prospects more.

Look, at the end of the day, folks might initially give a `.so` or `.sh` the side-eye, questioning its credibility. But if you nail your branding and put real effort into building your reputation, that perception quickly fades away. Once people trust you and your offering, nobody’s going to care about the TLD - just look at Notion.so: everyone links to them, uses them internally, and doesn't bat an eye. In fact, they eventually upgraded to .com - so that door always remains open.
Remember, with any new domain, you're starting from zero anyway; you'll have to build trust from scratch, whether it's a fancy `.com` or a `.so`. Going with something like `.so` or `.sh` just means more choices when the usual suspects are already taken.
Spam and cool. You will be discounted by users/search engines but you will have cache within the industry. Depends on who your customers are: discord users vs facebook group users

Which of thesevis savvier? Serious question. Given a tech worker subset that's analogous to Discord, I'd go for the 40s+ Facebook.
Who cares about domains like shipfast.st or mcp.so? What matters is your product's real value,what pain point does it solve?
