The absurdity of ".onion" is a subtle turn off, I think. If they'd gone with .tor or something more serious or less... lame, more people and business would engage. Naming is important. .onion is just stupid.
- sam_lowry_ 5y agoThe name hints at how Tor works. Just like the Tor logo. Another connotation I have is with Shrek onion scene https://youtu.be/-FtCTW2rVFM https://youtu.be/-FtCTW2rVFM
- robbedpeter 5y agoYes, and it comes off like a cringe meme, probably because of the Shrek thing. It's not something that suggests a sophisticated security tool. It's not even a good pun or play on words. The branding is just bad.
- krolchat 5y agoThat's just in your head buddy, can't say I heard this opinion expressed before. Ever.
- thatguy0900 5y agoI agree with it, but I don't care strongly enough to ever say it anywhere.
- CheezeIt 5y agoThe subject doesn’t come up much.
