Editing Harassment markets (section)

== Harassment Markets ==

Before a “hit man” service can become credible, a stepping stone might be a marketplace for lesser crimes—'''harassment services'''. Picture a site where vendors offer everything from sending glitter bombs to more destructive acts like keying a car or throwing a brick through a window.

'''Escalating Reputation'''<br />
Vendors could start by providing minor harassment services. As they gain positive reputation, customers might trust them with riskier requests. Eventually, a genuinely violent service could emerge from someone who’s proven themselves through anti-social acts.<br />

'''Demand for Revenge'''<br />
Many people feel wronged and never get justice through official channels. The appeal of paying someone for revenge is significant. A well-built reputation system and marketplace could theoretically enable such a business model—though it hasn’t yet emerged in a legitimate capacity.
