just interested in what y'all are noticing

Have a situation going on in life... and have used up all my resources in the past 2 years, kind of in a pickle and really need 20k ASAP

I’m curious about something and not asking for advice on doing anything illegal. More about understanding the economics/psychology behind it.

You hear stories about people on the dark web, scammers, cybercriminals, etcc. supposedly making huge amounts of money. Is that actually common, or are we mostly hearing about the rare “success stories” while ignoring everyone who fails, gets caught, or makes very little?

I’m wondering how much of it is exaggeration, survivorship bias, or internet myths versus reality. Why does it seem like some people make so much money in those spaces?

I see these videos on youtube people stealing hundreds of mils etc, almost getting away with it, is it really that easy? Do simple people really go there to make money?

or is it something more satire? more just like ransomware and so on

I see this hype about dark web but its all just crime and so, what real use does it bring lol?

Share all and any money making hacks you know!

Some random guy texted me video loging in to my snapchat account, and is asking me to pay him 200 bucks for him to get out if it, i took all precautions etc, but he shows it again, once i ask what a pasword is he doesnt say it, but keeps pushing me to pay, what is going on?
