I don't know. Evo and Agora were already large markets before the fall of SR2, so much so, they were usually recommended for purchases over SR2 more often than not. However I agree that media exposure for them is not a good thing.

Yeah, but Evo and Agora were really only on the minds and lips of people that knew about them. And SR2 was never a good idea.

I enjoy the theory that Silk Road 2 was an elaborate FBI sting. Created after the collapse of the original to collect information on all major players. From what I've read of SR2's fallout the main evidence comes from an FBI agent impersonating a moderator since it's inception. Doomed from the start really. This isn't about shutting all the dark markets down. They know that's impossible. This is about justifying the War on Drugs. It's working.
