Other things include private messages on forums, passworded sections/areas that require a specific type of account on websites (i.e. moderator sections on forums), private torrent trackers, etc. Only a very, very small fraction is what you're mentioning.
The romanticization of the deep web is getting way out of hand. Anyone who actually thinks these things are interesting need to fucking go outside.
