> and “for sale” became Facebook Marketplace.

Ummmm... 1. Does the data suggest that is true? 2. If it were true, would it support the "unbundling" narrative given that it would be a case of something being part of another bundle?

FB marketplace is literally the only thing I fb for anymore. It's pretty much the only decent place to buy and sell furniture, lawn equipment, etc. I valiantly tried to stick with craigslist, but it's just become a wasteland of scams and spam where I live.

The fact that Craigslist hasn't done anything to cut down on spam, scams, and duplicate posts is maddening to me. Whenever I do a search I see dozens of phone repair advertisements and completely unrelated posts for cars and trucks. And those posts have the same title and thumbnail!

I simply do not understand why Craigslist refuses to improve in this regard. Look, I get why Craig doesn't want to change the design of his site, but how in the hell do they justify such crap not being removed?
