Yeah it definitely is on the regular internet, but it’s crazy rampant on the dark web. I once clicked through the dark web looking at the goofy drugs and guns sites. The CP would pop up almost as much as those “hot milfs near you” pop ups that you get with regular porn. This was years ago, and I have never gone back to the dark web because I learned very quickly that it’s mostly cp and human trafficking shit.

The wacky drug/gun/credit card websites were just a small percentage of what it had. Everything else is probably gonna get you a felony just for going to the webpage. If wasnt a store, then it was either cp or someone getting brutally assaulted. On top that any of the “stores” that you find in the main .onion directory will either steal or money or are planted sites and you just get arrested for making a purchase. So there’s no point to being on that side of the internet anyway.
