Why isn't OnionShare more popular among pirating communities? (lemmy.ml)

I was just browsing some torrents lately and anything that isn't on a torrent is on a website like rapidgator. Rapidgator is ok if you downloading audiobooks, but why aren't more people using OnionShare to send and receive files? I haven't used it and I don't know it's limitations, but if I ever wanted a file which was shared over it, I would spring into action and install it.

So yeah, why?

Tbf Tor needs benign traffic for the important stuff to hide in.

yeah true,

But in warez's context, if you host your tor's relay, and you pay for the bandwith, then an mass sharing have a cost. And you have to include the storage too, its not free.

Thats why my answer,
for me onionshare != rapidshare.

Not the same "business model" at all,
