Guillermo Rauch says tech-term associations lift some country-code domains

Guillermo Rauch, Vercel's founder, says on X that some countries' domain economies surge because their country-code domains resemble tech terms.

He cites .io (read as I/O), .md (Markdown), .rs (Rust) and .ai (AI) as examples, along with .co (Colombia), .io (Island Ocean), .md (Moldova), .rs (Serbia), .ai (Anguilla) and .si (Slovenia). The post makes this claim without reported figures on domain sales or revenue.
