Redditors who have explored the dark web, what did you find?
- There are a bunch of places on there where you can buy/sell things. I was scrolling through one of these sites, seeing what everyone was selling - drugs, credit cards, social security numbers, passports, porn, etc. And then I happened upon "Item: Sand. Description: Sand from the ocean"

- New tech, exploits and hacks, but that is mostly because it is required for my job to be aware of this stuff, to the point where I browse it at work.
Lots of broken links and slow sites, lots of Russian stuff, illegal sales and CP(Sadly, not Club Penguin). This are the things I instantly get away from, I don't think they should exist, but mankind always finds a way to be creepy.
Also, cat facts is down T.T

- 25% of it is broken links
25% is pirated books and other publications
25% of it is drugs
The rest are just scams, and occasionally a weird fetish.
3/10 really overhyped. Would be useful for getting textbooks if it wasn't slow and clunky as hell to use.

- I found a forum where a guy tried to sell pictures of his middle-aged, obese wife in fishnets. I'm not judging but it was funny to see every other user trolling him by commenting on the state of the rooms the pictures were shot. ("Dude, clean your windows", "Is that hat over there for sale too?" etc.)
He responded to every post they made until a mod stepped in, stated that no one wanted his pictures and closed the thread.

- Didn't find anything worthwhie. Drugs, hitmen etc. Not sure how many of them were legit. It feels like the internet from 90s.

- I do dark net analysis here and there for work. In addition to the drugs, child abuse, and crazy people, there's a lot of chatter between "hacker" groups as they buy and sell malware, zero-day exploits, etc.

- A lot of PDFs and texts about conspiracies, occultism and mysteries
I didn't go to the darker places, I don't need that stuff in my head

- I went on to find drugs. I found them. Then I left that place sharpish, didn't wanna hang around longer than I needed to
