15 years ago, I would visit ebay multiple times a day. I bought or sold something an average of once a week. Over time I used it less and less because it became a marketplace for cheap mass market consumer goods instead of an amazing bazaar. Part of the fun was not knowing what you'd find if you kept looking a little bit longer. These days I have to look up my password when I log in. When I do and search for, say, "arduino", I get 85 different Chinese vendors selling what appears to be the identical product for prices that are lower than the cost of just the CPU chip that is on it. I'm not saying it was better or worse, just different, and not what I loved about it a decade ago. But I'm in my 50s, and not the younger target demographic they think they can capture.
