To be fair there have been multiple popular e-mail networks on Tor like SIGINT in the past and I never received spam there.

Knuth once said there’s two kinds of programming languages in the world: Languages everyone complains about, and languages nobody uses. I feel like there’s some corollary here…
FWIW it was Bjarne Stroustrup (of C++) who said that, not Knuth.
There are actually a lot of networks that people would assume get spammed to death, but they seem to work fine for me when I have used them.

Another example is BitMessage. It worked fine for me I never had random spam or anything.

I think your definition of "popular" here is... unpopular.
