What is the real economy of the hacking forums and deepweb like

I have spent time navigating through a lot of hacking forums.
I can help but notice that it's not saturated.
My question is how profitable is the economy really that makes people spend their time on it?
You wont be able to figure that out without buying/selling products and services. In my opinion, the majority are just lurkers.

I don't intend to buy or sell any products here. Just trying to get some real statistics.

I doubt this website can make anyone fortune. Definitely not by selling.


I see a lot of bot accounts created for social engineering purpose and I think it's so dumb

Are you and old account? Because its weird to make such a comment if you just created your account.

Omni gives a great fight keeping off bots from this forum.

We ban them all month long.
There are people here that have donated as much as $41000 to Hack Forums so I guess there are people that find it extremely valuable.
