Why the Alphabay Hate

I was wondering why people hate Alphabay so much. I found comments dating back to ten months ago saying AlphaBay would exit but they are still here and the other big markets with positive reviews have all gone away.

Here is an example: https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarkets/comments/3b6zoa/top_10_markets_by_number_of_listings_updated_june/csjxw7d

Because their support is sub par to say the least

padding item and user counts.....

Mainly because people don't like carders, people are always complaining mainly due to their own fuckups and some fishy stuff with mods going on.

Never once had issues conducting business on AB, the one incident where I did have to contact AB support about a PGP issue they did get back to me pretty fast same day. Mind you this was my only experience with their support. If you pick reputable vendors and do some research and use escrow write down your mnemonics and pins and follow their instructions to a tee your good to go, just try and avoid situations where a dispute is going to occur by researching your vendors.

Alphabay has a terrible record. Tons of reports of missing deposits, shitty service, ect

Some of their Mods are plain theiving scumbags, that's why, creates a lot of ill will

I have placed 54 orders through AB in the past 6 months. I make sure to never spend more than $100 per order. I never send funds over until I am ready to place an order. No deposits have ever been lost. I have been exit scammed 5 times, and got bunk items 2 times. So, overall, I have had about an 80% success rate with AB in orders received. I wish it was higher, but its decent considering the nature of this game. As for the functionality of the website, I have had no problems at all.
