Because millions of people use them and the feedback is mostly positive?

Because where there is demand there is supply.

Pot sellers were criminals once now they are businessman

You think buying from a well known anonymous user with months/years of reviews will result in a "scam"?

I know thats not how Craiglist works. Do you even know how darknet markets work or what they are?

Escrows, vendor reputation, feedback, etc?

Something illegal depending on the jurisdiction

Legal =/= ethical

I meant how much money you got scammed for.

Lets say you bought a phone from Craigslist and its a fake one, what do you do?

You sent a guy a wire for a collectors item and he sends you a box of rocks? What do you do?

There's so many ways that you can get scammed in the real world without recourse.

What's happening here is that you have a preconceived notion of "darknets markets bad"

How come darknet markets work extremely well then?

Some people value steady profits much more than a one time scam.

Yes? The quality of products is millions of times higher than in the streets.

Everything gets continually tested by a lot of people. Entire forums dedicated to weed out bad sellers and identity good products ..

Yeah, sellers are usually super responsive and will normally fix any issue if you are polite and abide by the rules.

Ummm what exactly do you do if you are scammed in real life? Go to the police and file a complaint that will never go anywhere? Lol

Or you mean if in the real world you get scammed by a company? Can YOU really start a lawsuit? What amount of money are we talking about? 10k,100k, 1m?

Trustworthy vendors rely on their reputation. They usually value it a lot.

So what if they do? They have to start again from 0 (usually).Its also very easy to avoid them...

Sure but the feedback system works well enough to weed them out quite fast. When people get burned they learn, big papa gov regulations prevents learning.

Darknet markets are the best example of self regulating markets. Its truly amazing and it doesn't get enough credit

Of course most are run or acquired by intelligence agencies eventually....

Darknet markets? Amazing quality, safety and customer support with literally 0 regulations.

Sorry but thats a failed argument

eldenwrong··on Psychedelic frees up depressed brain, study shows
Furthermore not everyone can deal with the aftermath of a bad trip. I've seen people get messed up for a long time because they believed the delusions they had.
eldenwrong··on The examples in the textbooks are not representative of real world problems
No, the point is to produce constant stream of mediocre workers that support power.

The way they teach math in highschool and most colleges is retarded. People succeed despite it and not because of it

eldenwrong··on Choose your status game wisely
Yeah plenty as in the minority. And in tech its even rarer
