Comment (by cypherpunks):
Another reason is the bandwidth costs of exit node operators. This is an
area that we hope this service can offer relief since it shifts traffic
from exit nodes to our own servers, reducing exit node operation costs
along with it.
Additionally, since Tor Browser 8.0 makes a new circuit for each hostname
when connecting via an .onion alternative service, the circuit number
cannot be used to link connections to two different sites together in
onion space.
