Thank you for reminding me about I2P!
One evening, I'm browsing .onions with the usual fifteen seconds of waiting between page loads, when I notice some sites are advertising their .i2p urls.
"What's this?", I research I2P for a few minutes while a Tor site loads in the background but it seems pretty complicated to get running so I forget about it.
I had the exact same experience except that "few weeks later" didn't happen for me yet.
