I have a friend who says he wants to get into the Deep Web. Well, he says it. Not sure if he actually does want to. He hasn't done any more than talk about it.
It strikes me that most of it is probably boring as all hell. Long strings of numbers and impenetrable code that don't show up on search engines because no one would be searching for them in the first place. And the rare bits of salacious stuff would just be depressing in practice.

I already find far too much on the open web to keep me entertained, informed, and depressed without the hassle (and potential legal consequences) of wearing out my eyeballs and brain cells by trying to go deeper. The funny thing is we actually remember a time when the entire internet was essentially dark - no html and dial-up connections you had to pay for by the minute.
All those effects are certainly available. Can be hard to tell the difference between them at times, but that's another story for another day.
Yes, there used to be more of a sense that it was a limited resource in general. Now it's more like attention is a limited resource.
