I have seen Tor network take a hit when there's fight between darknet marketplaces. It's certainly an issue.
not anymore. Most recent onion sites have enabled proof-of-work mechanism in place, so DDoS attacks are now expensive to carry out.

I have no clue why you're getting downvoted but ygg is a solid option but it would overwhelm the network since AA has intense traffic.
IPFS then. It's just static content, so it has sense to be distributed between nodes. Not under ygg of course. On the YGG network, I've used streaming without many issues, plus BT. And people have been even gaming over YGG. Altough they could use YGG for a static address and then just use IPFS for the data but outside of YGG.

I’ll never use Tor because I have no idea what the Tor client is actually doing. Is it enabling someone to use my network connection for cybercrime without my knowledge? No thanks.
Using Tor browser and running a Tor node are different things, by using the browser you are not contributing to the network, you're just accessing it. If you're worried about someone using your network connection for cybercrime you shouldn't run a Tor node (although there is significantly less risk with a relay node), but you shouldn't worry about using regular Tor.
That's false to some extent. Tor's promise comes from it's vast population of users. The more users it has, the better it is to improve everyone's anonymity. So in a way, even by using it, you are helping Tor network. And please, save the "criminal" bs (meant for the original comment).
Excuse my FUD, but are they really non-profit as described in FAQ? I find it a little hard to believe given how aggressive they are at marketing the paid version.
so every .org domain is now subject to US law system ?

Anna's Archive recently released a dump of the entire Spotify catalogue so they are very much in the music industries crosshairs as well now.
Only metadata has been released so far.
So this effectively re-releases into the public domain a lot of the user contributions during the 1990s.

I am aware of POW but that hasn't stopped the DDoS. If you look at chart from few months back, there was significant hit due to crazy DDoS carried out by DrugHub which was evident in a Dread post.
