Because people use tor to spam a lot, a lot of the exit nodes are banned by honeypot.

When I use Tor, I check the IP address usually first to see where it is for fun. When I do a search on DuckDuckGo or Startpage, the majority of the time the IP I borrow is on some blacklist somewhere.

Be careful Andresm, because once you log in to a service using your real IP, it becomes associated with you, and Tor becomes "useless" after that point.
If you have an account that you want to maintain "anonymous" you should ALWAYS and ONLY use it through Tor, and never give personal info. Also, take a look at their website and see how many people use Tor in your country, as that can also be used to identify you :)
