  3. I'm only 2 minutes in and I'm already annoyed by the inaccuracy of this coverage. "The darknet" does not correspond exclusively to the TOR network . "The darknet" refers to any sectioned/walled part of the internet requiring some kind of special client, key or other steps to access. These have existed as long as the internet has (and one could argue even longer than the internet has) and were not a recent invention. There are many such networks in existence, each with varied goals, access controls and content. Taken collectively they form "the darknet". TOR is merely the most mainstream of them, and if we're being honest you'd have to be a complete n00b moron to do any kind of illicit activity on a closed network owned and controlled by the Yankville intelligence services. In fact one could make a satisfactory argument that TOR is so pouros and ubiquitous today that it barely is any different than the clear web. TOR is TOR. The Darknet is a collection of obfuscated and opaque sublevels to the internet, which happens to include TOR as just one example. Please stop confusing these terms, YouTubers using these as synonyms is getting as bad as commercial VPN ads. I just watched a few seconds more and you're making another ridiculous claim. The Silk Road is the most mainstream, heavily covered illicit market on the most mainstream opaque platform qualifying as part of the Darknet. It is far from the most legendary, it's closer to your plain sight corner dealer. I won't name the most legendary one because I'm sure it'll flag something and get me on a list, suffice to say the most legendary such market was started in 1994 out of Ukraine and continues unabated to this day. If we're only this far in and you've already made such colossal mistakes I don't hold out much hope for the rest of the video. I'll end my comment here then and won't bother with the rest of the video. Edit: 😂🤡 There's a freaking NordVPN ad on this video. All of your credibility is gone.
