I am no TOR expert, but how does decreasing the amount of hops or running your own relay decrease the privacy of other people?

- PeterisP 7y agoRunning large requests over many hops takes up limited Tor resources so it makes using Tor slower/harder for other people. Decreasing the amount of hops means that you use less resources, running your own relay means that you provide resources to others.
- pests 7y agoI don't think the other reply you got answered your question. The thought is that other people are hiding in your noise. Make less noise, other people stand out more.
