I don't use DNMs anymore since everything that went down a couple months ago, but I wonder how much the total drug circulation has went down since then. Am I an outlier or have a large percentage of vendors/buyers dropped out?
Are there sites that track DNM activity?

Probably ? The most curious thing to me is that many of the big time, well established vendors from A/B and Hansa just fucking disappeared after the markets went down. My first glance at TradeRoute was like a joke - vendor after vendor was listing gmail addressess, Wickr accts, suggesting "alternate" payment methods, etc - like they're all fucking noobs ! But after a lot of searching, a few nuggets of gold has turned up.
The good new is this: Everybody that I know of is still getting their goodies - they always have...and they always will ;)
But yea, Experian says "they monitor the dark web", I'm like "yea, right !)

Lots have but many are just using it as an excuse for an extended vacation before returning.

No recent academic research of total revenue has been published recently, but previous studies show that LE takedowns put a damper on things for a few months, and then business is booming again. You might enjoy these studies:

DeepDotWeb will also keep you updated. EMCDDA and other drug agencies also discuss DNMs in yearly reports.
