I work for a company where this happened, the only one I'm aware of in the United States. What happened here, in Northern Utah, is that a local TV station created a classifieds product and put it online. The engineer's with the idea fought to provide it as a free service to the community and the TV station eventually agreed. It's no longer owned by the TV station but that business continues to thrive in spite of Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and all the other entrants into the market. I hope we can continue to keep it alive well into the future.
