When I lived in the US, at a certain point I realized literally every major aspect of my life in some way could be worked back to a craigslist ad - cars, places to live in and jobs. We don't have craigslist where I live in Europe, and I miss it. Instead it's an endless parade of for-profit services like olx. I tell people about craigslist and it's alien to them, this idea that something on the internet could be managed to be run by a dozen people and not be changed. It's not even the simplicity that is so appealing to me, but that you get this feeling that it is a totally neutral platform. Like air, you don't see it but it's there. And nobody is trying to put perfume in it.
