I don't like how this title oversimplifies the causes of growth to be the NSA scandal. I guess Silk Road also played an important role in this increase and it is not mentioned.

Yes, but that means SR users were using up Tor bandwidth, they weren't necessarily supplying any.

I wonder how much is to do with the Piratebay, and circumventing blocked sites?
