I am starting to suspect every social media platform is a honeypot. Including this site. It does not matter if a site is legal or not. It is all essentially a honeypot. The illegal sites are, most likely, honeypots. But even the legal sites are probably honeypots, too.
If everything online is a honeypot, you should behave accordingly. Thus you will never pay for any online service, unless you absolutely must pay to access said content. It is only rational to assume everything online is a honeypot in 2025.
There might have been some legit/non-scam websites 10 to 15 years ago in the 2010s. Not anymore, these days. Everything online, in 2025, is a scam/honeypot, in essence. And by the 2030s, these scams/traps will only get more outrageous and more absurd. Pretty much all of the "news" is fake and fabricated.
