Text of a table 6 from: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.13320.pdf showing a number of different classified onion services. Cluster 23 (accounting for 5% of classified onions) has "cwtch" as a class-specific keyword.

   Fascinating table from a new paper looking at some onion service classification (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.13320.pdf)

   Setting aside that they seem to have failed to reference some significant prior-art..*ahem*

   That "cwtch" is a top-5 key word in a significant cluster related to private messaging leads me to believe that there are:

   1. A lot of clone sites out there attempting to deliver malware versions of Cwtch.
   2. Many more users of Cwtch than we have estimated.
