Wow thats truly a bit shocking , I dont think its surprising that visits to Whistleblower sites are less than 1% , if it was more we would live in an other world.

About the high percent of visits to those abuse-related hidden services , which is a horrible fact , is mostly related to the kind of service provided ...

whistleblower sites are veeery special in a way and not that many people even have any motivation to use them . All of those illegal markets get far more visits naturally but those who use them as buyers(which must be the main group of visiters )maybe only check them out like once a week ( maybe like most of us use amazon maybe even a bit less).

But now think of youtube or sex related video Sites ... they naturally get more visits from 1 user in a week than any other service ... so i think thats a huge chunk of it.

So just to get this right , i really think its disgusting and shocking how much visits these sites seem to generate, but i think its not necessary related that most user in the dark Web use these services , but maybe just more like those who use them are using them much more exessive than any other service. Also we have to mind the factors mentioned in the article like DOS attacks etc...
