Create the problem and sell the solution. This is what is DeepDotWeb doing at the moment.
Since the DDoS attack started al the guides, tutorials, youtube videos, subreddits, websites are all useless because no link works. Except DDW, off course. The main reason is to lure people to their website and benefit from the affilliate commissions. 25% from all the market fees are very good money, probably millions. The only one interested in maintaining the DDoS attack is the one benefiting from this.
The guy behind DDW aready admitted to DDoSing onion websites and said it is very easy to do.
He lied about the reasons he runs the website. It's very clear it's because of the money from affiliate commisions, otherwise he wouldn't put there his affiliate codes.
He blamed it on phishers and LE. But how can phishers spread their phishing links now that people are more aware of phishing links as ever and the only place to get a working link is DDW? The best phishing links I know now don't even work! And if the LEO is doing it why they don't DDoS DDW as well to really create distrust? Why would another market would do the DDoS when the effective way to attract customers would be a reddit PR and good shills?
To the market admins: If you want to stop the DDoS attack stop paying this scammer! Create your own clearnet website with a live link. Don't pay this crook to DDoS your market with your own money!
Edit: removed the links
