      Marketplace killed Craigslist because they’re actually halfway decent at detecting and removing scams. Basically the only redeeming feature

        Craigslist is still limping along, it’s a smaller group of buyers but still has traction in some markets.

      probably sunk cost (time invested, followers gained, networking) + real addiction (meta and x will try to trigger any emotion from you so you are invested in the platform) + accessibility (free or cheap access on mobile data with big providers)
