I think .xyz is specifically blacklisted because the domains are often less than $2 to register so they attract a lot of riff-raff

Is this still the case? I checked few registrars and they seem to go around $10 nowadays but maybe I missed places with better deals.

I get the reason why that would attract spammers. Bummer for people who would like to use it for legitimate reasons.
