I’m a frequent Craigslist user for both sales and purchases. Selling stuff has become extremely difficult since Marketplace took over as the the “standard” for the area I live in. I’m in the same boat as I refuse to make an account on that shit heap of a website so getting my sales to move takes a lot more work.

It also does not help that the second-hand landscape has changed a lot in the past 5ish years. People expect a lot more money for their used items now and buyers expect steep discounts for like-new condition items.

It’s getting really bad. You can look up the most mundane, everyday search term and there will be a distracting amount of fake images in the results.

I look up a lot of reference images for art projects and so I have to skim over a lot of AI slop.

One of the many reasons I will never integrate smart home stuff into my house.

My light switches still work because they’re powered by my finger instead of the “cloud”.
