The last time I took a foray into tor a year ago or so the top 10 sites were all selling drugs and stolen credit cards. Couldn’t find a single legitimate or non illegal thing on it. Uninstalled it after 10 minutes of browsing almost identical sites claiming they were the only legitimate meth/hitman/heroin sites on tor.
There are legitimate reasons to use tor, but onion sites don’t seem to be part of it, and when I’m evading censorship to watch Netflix or something I’d rather use a vpn.
Freenet is a little bit different but the theme of most of the content is the same yes.
Freenet is more like a depository of documents, so you can't really host a site on it, there is no 2-way communication. In many ways it's a predecessor to ipfs.
