When I see a story about a teacher being fired for being on onlyfans, I've never seen them include a link to their onlyfans =)

  I would chuckle and move on, but in this example I typically do go look and it turns out its usually just an ad campaign. As in, the firing did happen, but so did the hiring of a publicist and resharing on her social media and forums as the top of the funnel to join her OnlyFans. With the darkweb I don't know where that discussion would be. which marketplace. and it is so cumbersome to go look. (edit: and as the sister comment pointed out, OnlyFans is a "where", a specific website.)

  To op's point, they do specify a website and not just 'internet'. I don't think they're necessarily saying they should include the onion link. You used to specifically hear about the Silk Road, for example.

    Yes, and Silk Road was a darknet site. Silk Road was pretty well known in mainstream culture, was a featured story in Wired, etc.. maybe that's what made it worth mentioning. If this info is posted on some mostly unknown darknet site, maybe they just don't want to make it more popular.

      To be fairer mainstream only ever mentioned Silk Road for the past 12 years consecutively and I only occasionally see another market when the Department of Justice does a press release, despite Silk Road being gone for a decade all the same All markets were immediately bigger than Silk Road and continued growing far beyond what silk road ever was, bigger by every metric such as number of listings, breadth of types of products, volume, more advanced, more resilient to government fund and server seizure attempts… We dont actually know if it was a “unknown darknet site” or one of the major ones, or simply a link posted on a Dread subreddit
