I really do not believe that there is such a thing as a hot domain extension.
Let me explain why I think that.
I helped the company I worked for apply for a new gTLD.
In the end, we were granted the name string as a registry by ICANN.
That is a long complicated story that I won't get into.
However, during the application process, I did a lot of research on our desired "string" (the name extension applied for).
I found that it really was not that critical as far as offering some advantage in the
name string itself for SEO or the like in the end, that's after we spent a million
dollars plus getting the application approved.
I still like the idea of the meaning invoked by the domain extension, unfortunately Google really
doesn't give a shit. Even though Google applied for so many new gTLD names through their own registry division.
In fact Google came to us requesting that we give them one of their names that had no trademark for one
of their products. In other words, the domain name was a generic word.

No, the company was spending in excess of $1 million a year on Google ads back then and the CEO was furious that they would not pay the reserved name price we had set for that name or even make a counter offer. I forget the amount, IIRC it was in the $3K -$5K range. Google was just being a total pig --like they were entitled ...
