You are correct about not getting enough visitors witch is 25 hits per 90 days than yes, they will terminate the domain name, which only applies to people who get free domain names.
However, you are wrong about if you get to many visitors. If you buy the domain name for the shortest time, that is 2 years, than you legally one it, until it expires or if you violate the terms of service. If you do not truest them, that use another domain name registrar.
No matter where you register the domain name(s) you legally one it until it expires, or if you violate the agreement where ever you resisted the domain name.
(If you are getting a lot of visitors, I would recommend that you buy the domain name for the shortest time, that is 2 years, than you legally one it. And if you don’t want it anymore you could let it expire or sell it.)
For my opinion, dot tk is good for two reasons, A, it is a gTLD (generic top-level domain) and second, if a few people who use the dot tk in a harmful way, website and search engines are not going to block it, unlike co dot cc where technology is getting some what cheaper and smarter.

- Limited DNS control / bad control panel.
- Bad support.
- Black listed from sites (such as co.cc on Google)
- Potential customers being turned away due to the free extension.
Dot tk has improved over a while. They are good for being a gtld and free.

.tk isn't a gTLD. It's the CCTLD for Tokelau.

Since a lot of domains are being blocked, .tk is one of the still working, even though the rep is low it is still a good domain and free.
