How on earth we ended up with this company bother anyone including those that want their services? Imagine that you could get your driving license banned because you did not buy a toyota...
Considering .top domains have cheap registration and renewal. To me, it does feel as if .top are very speculative. I liked to search random things in tld-list to find unique-word.<any tld> so like random.top but my past experience says that .top domains are bought quite a lot/very speculative.
If possible I like .de but I think that .top are fine too. Both are great for what its worth.

I didn't know about this, can you please elaborate more about it?
Those with small brains who stereotype things often claim that .top is used only for scams, and that if a site is using .top, it means they're a scam site. In making this foolish assertion, they confuse P(A|B) with P(B|A). To continue, see the ChatGPT share 699f272e-475c-8012-ae9a-a89bd136fd01

Sure, they can be, but again it's no reason to stereotype. They can be or become whatever they want to be.
In my opinion, .de , .ovh , .uk or personally my country's .in (yes OVH has their own TLD that you can use)
.de is one of the more interesting domains to me personally even though I am not german.
and if hectic maybe .io
Similar issues to .io happened with the popularity of .tv domains, which again is a ccTLD. The government of Tuvalu sought to increase income from sales of their ccTLD and prices went up. Tuvalu is such a small nation .tv domain sales ended up making a significant part of the State's income.
Another fun example of the mess you can get into with ccTLDs was when the UK left the EU. All UK registered .eu domain names were cancelled following the UK exit from the bloc.
gTLDs generally have some degree of insulation from State-level politics. ccTLDs permit the nation or territory they represent much more say in how they are priced and who they are sold to.
