A while back I noticed that .biz specifically has its own checkbox in the o365 spam controls. And sure enough I don't think I've ever done legitimate business on a .biz. I wonder what the heck happened to it.

The only .biz I've ever interacted with is Minimus.biz, and it looks like they've barely touched their site since 2006. Just the way I like it, honestly.

Other than that, yeah, it's a cesspool.

Sending a .biz link in an SMS will be blocked by Google, and the sender won't be informed the message was not sent. Cheap domains are cheap for spammers too.
