This one irks me. I grabbed an Auto-Trader paper today as I was reminiscing about how local trader-papers used to be a thing. I got my NES and Saxophone that way. I still have one of those.
-Then craigslist ended that and now that has been replaced by a website that requires membership to read the listings.
We gave away computer parts on Craigslist a few months ago. It was a no-stress transaction and the receiver was a sweet old-school computer person building a basic machine for his kids to play Minecraft. Would do again.
You could say the same about any social media site really.
The whole point of social media is to communicate with other people. Facebook is the largest one, so if you want to contact a business or person, they’re more likely to be on Facebook than any other site. Probably the main exception are younger people (and companies run by them), where they’re more active on TikTok and Instagram.
which is the dumbest shit in the world. why the fuck are people on facebook?
Well marketplace basically killed Craig’s list, so that’s one reason.

Yep, I feel ya. It’s so unfortunate that the required membership is what provides the benefits that allowed them to beat Craigslist.

we should kill facebook and go back to craigskist.
if we managed to take it down for like a month, the internet would heal itself so quick.
Have you tried explaining something to someone lately? A lot of people don’t care and don’t understand. About anything
People are on Facebook because that’s where everyone already is. They won’t leave because then they lose contact with all those people.
‘People who spend too much time on Facebook’ overlaps with ‘People who need cheap lawyers.’
It’s *Meta*

I’m on Facebook because many people I communicate or work with and pages and groups relevant to my interests are active there.
