It is not the fourth branch of government anymore.
- Animats 1y agoIt's amazing that Craigslist killed the profitability of newspapers, and at such low cost. Somebody should do that for social media.
- wkat4242 1y agoReally? Were the classified ads that important? I know some Dutch newspapers that didn't have any. It was mostly the free local papers that did. Edit: these papers are still around, I just don't know if they still don't have classifieds because I don't read any papers anymore. The whole idea of getting a dead tree delivered is kinda old fashioned to me.
