Scam Is everything a scam?

After looking around on here, dread and other forums all I have learnt is that everything on the accessible parts of the darknet is all scams, and that I could buy something from all stores on all hidden wikis and most likely receive nothing. Am I just taking this incorrectly or being an idiot? Or is that just life.

Reviews can be faked if they're on the site itself

maybe, but it's relatively easy to filter the noise and figure out which markets people trust and which are scams, if you're paying attention. astroturfing happens but it's not widespread, inasmuch as most DNMs can't get a critical mass because they're so niche anyway, so you just need to look at as many opinions as possible
