hard to check it either of those ways, I guess

however, it is easy to roughly estimate the "popularity" of a given tld at a given point in time.

e.g. the popularity of .info, and .biz extension is at this point close to ZERO. It might change in the future, it might not.
see: "exclusive" domains .tv and .cc (not to mention .nr and others lol)

I don't know about others, but it is not more than 5-6 .info or.biz web sites that I came across so far

.us is a bit different, since there is a patriotic factor involved but the concept is always the same: registrars make money on naive newbies and "speculators"

I want to be clear: I don't see anything wrong about that. It's simply creating demand
