Craigslist has done virtually nothing to improve the quality of listings on it's site. They seem to actively refuse to do anything about duplicate posts, keyword abuse, and those listings where the 'price' is $1. Go ahead and search 'iPhone' on your local Craigslist and you'll see a ton of posts advertising screen repair and used cars. And, there are dozens of identical listings that you assume their system would block, but they just don't. I'm glad Facebook Marketplace came along because CL is resting on its laurels.
- micromacrofoot 5y agoTrue, but I'm not into the idea that the rando dude lowballing me for an iPhone and getting mad at me when I say "no" now knows what I look like.
- BitwiseFool 5y agoI'm not even looking for CL to do identity verification. Just to put a modicum of effort into removing duplicate listings and obvious advertisements hijacking keywords.
