To be honest this question is probably irrelevant to most people, but I thought I would ask the question and find out what anyone who cares thought. Anyways my journey with the DNM's was actually pre DNM's, I had moved to a new town and had no access to what I needed at the time, I painstakingly went through pages and pages of articles on the internet to learn how I could get access to what I needed, then bammm SR came along my prayers were answered, my point is that at the time no one I knew of had a clue this existed, I felt like it I was part of some niche and I was in some way more clever as I had taken the time to learn how to access what I needed. Then today I was on public transport on way way home and I hear a conversation, that goes 'Bruv that is some proper peng bud you have', the reply 'I know mush got it of the darknet bruv'. This must have been 2 17/18 Yo chav kids, who on the face of it seem to have little brain cells between them. I was thinking What the fuck, if these kids can do it, what sort of fuckwits are doing it!! So it must be a common process now.... these people have no etiquette, we are doomed folks!
Out of all the substance-people I know (for all kinds of really), they all seem amazed or bewildered when I said I got my stuff online, and at most they know a friend who has tried it once tops. Even in 2015 when everyone has heard of Silkroad, the average buyer still isn't on a DNM.
About the fuckwits: there were prob. tons of fuckwits on Silkroad as well, and bring both good and bad with them. They might be less hush hush, but also bring the word out about the future. You can be a fuckwit and still savvy with using stuff like the internet/computer, I know some for a reference, so I doubt it's having the detrimental effect you believe it has.
