Is the .TOP domain for anything besides spam?

It's probably a stupid question, but I wondered if there is anybody, anywhere, using the ".top" top-level domain who is not using it to send spam?

I recently noticed that about 75% of the spam received by one of my non-Gmail.com email addresses, comes from a variety of "some...@something.top" addresses; and that I have received zero legit messages (so far) from any ".top" top-level domain address.

Unfortunately I get occasional false-positives in that email's spam folder, so I need to manually check them frequently.  Lately it's up to about 50 spam messages daily.  It would help if I can pre-filter things I know will be spam.

I realize it could be dangerous to assume that every sender with a .top address is sending me spam.  But for now, it seems to work.

Thanks,
Andy

Hey Andy

Long time! 

I suspect it is because .Top is currently going very cheap, $1.50/year on Gandi.net.
