Thanks for the nice conversation.
Now that OP is inactive, I can also spoil the surprise: My link further up was Rick Astley singing: Never Gonna Give You Up.
It's safe to click. I just figured since OP isn't listening to answers, I'll give them some video to learn -hands-on- about videos on the Darknet.
If someone had clicked the link, they'd get the opportunity to learn how fast or slow a video loads. And how it (likely) first requires the user to lift some security measures or videos won't load at all. (At least my browser does, there's no JS and then NoScript also complains about the media file.)
We and other people in the comments pointed that out in the proceeding conversation. But nobody clicked the link anyway. I always have the feeling the groups of Threadiverse users and people with the capacity to surf the Darknet are pretty much disjoint groups. But it's really nice to once and again talk to someone with some more knowledge and/or first hand experience. ๐
They'd need a browser that speaks I2P, which means they're already into this stuff ๐
WTF is wrong with people, where do they get their drugs? On the street? Use the darknet where there are product reviews!
I honestly do not understand why high school IT courses do not include at least 1-2 days to cover Tor, visit say BBC and DDG and understand why someone might want to use Tor for these sites (both as user and operator)
Seriously everyone should just watch the relevant Computerphile vids ; they're very good
