(#8) Some Claim Red Rooms Exist On The Surface Web But Are Only Accessible Via The Dark Web
A common claim made by multiple sources who frequent the dark web is that red rooms do exist, but the live streaming itself occurs on the surface, or clear web. This gets around the latency problem inherent in using Tor.
Basically, to get in you have to somehow develop a relationship with the group who created it. This takes multiple steps, starting with Internet relay chat and finding someone who already knows the link. Once there, you would need to make an account and get an invite.
All of this is an absolutely terrible idea for more reasons than can be mentioned, so the best advice here is to perish the thought.

(#6) Apparently There Is A Demand
Given the proven existence of snuff films and other depraved video-rings of this nature, the laws of supply and demand seem to suggest that red rooms could exist. The question becomes whether or not the demand for them would still exist at the high price-point that such a site would require.
Logistically, a red room would be an extremely difficult thing to create. It doesn't exactly have a natural distribution mechanism, and the risks involved in being even marginally attached to such a site are huge. Higher prices naturally drive down demand, so it is possible that the price necessary to justify the high costs incurred to produce a red room would drive demand for such a product to near zero. To put it another way, no matter how many people love Oreo cookies, they wouldn't exist if they cost a million bucks to produce.
The question basically comes down to: "How much more expensive would it be to create and maintain a red room, compared to similar known products with established illicit markets?" Silk Road is a good comparative example of such an illicit market, but with much less risk and much higher demand, and that particular darknet business model proved unsustainable.

(#3) If Red Rooms Are Real, You Definitely Won't Stumble Onto One
According to IT experts that frequent the deep web, if a red room were to exist, it would be heavily guarded and only a select few people would even be able to view them. Certainly, there are plenty of alleged red room scams on the deep web (as well as law enforcement sting operations in effect). So, this immediately poses a problem for both the payer and the seller of the red room.
Anyone performing an illegal activity in one of these rooms is going to have a hard time advertising without making the authorities aware of their dealings. Likewise, anyone seeking illegal activity is going to be wary of spending massive amounts of money on a product they cannot verify. Long story short, you really have to try if you want to find one.

(#2) Tor Allegedly Can't Stream Live Video
One of the chief arguments against the existence of red rooms is the claim that Tor is just too slow to stream live video. But even if this claim is true, Tor is not synonymous with the deep web - Tor is simply a way to browse the deep web. It does mean, however, that it would be technically impossible to actually operate these red rooms using Tor, so a different distribution mechanism would be needed.
This is why some people claim that if red rooms do to exist, they would not actually be found on the deep web at all. Instead, they would be hidden in heavily restricted and secure areas of the surface web.

(#4) "Animal Crush" Sites Exist
One such site on the deep web called "Cruel Onion" was even shut down by the FBI. These sites feature the sexualized killing of small animals such as mice, rabbits, puppies, and kittens, and often - allegedly - include a forum where people can make requests. Seriously, Internet, you should be ashamed of yourself.
In 2016, Brent Justice was convicted for making these videos and was sentenced to 50 years in prison. His accomplice, Ashley Nicole Richards, pled guilty and received a reduced sentence. They were the first to be convicted of this type of crime under the US Animal Crush Video Prohibition Act of 2010. The two had a rather active client base and would often take requests.

(#9) The Site Called The Human Experiment Is Allegedly A Red Room
Some people claim that this is a legitimate red room, while others say it is just a way to scare people away from the deep web. Allegedly, the site is a place where people perform horrible medical experiments on animals and people and payment with Bitcoins is required to see live feeds of this messed up stuff.
Being that all the evidence that this site even exists amounts to the testimony of Reddit users and a YouTube video, it should be taken with a grain of salt.
