  It's not a coincidence that God killed the founder of the prostitution website OnlyFans with cancer. The government needs to shut that website down like they did with ******** and Craigslist.

• 
  That Startup (@ThatStartup_) reported 5 minutes ago

  In 2005, Craigslist turned down $10 billion from Rupert Murdoch. No auction. No bidding war. No counter. Just no. Craig Newmark thought selling would betray the people who used the site.

  @GravityDarkAge No one said they did. There is no indication where this file came from. I am guessing it was in the "UAP" folder on the JWICS server.. sort of like a secure version of craigslist for DOD/IC folks.

  @rottenmahae ...is it bad that I can immediately tell that this is the terrible book about a girl who like, went on Craiglist and decided to rp a dog for a rich guy? The one with a stolen artwork for cover? The same book that one booktuber reviewed?

  I wonder why no one built this. I spent some time thinking about why Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, and Craigslist still feel so broken. Before @TryCommonplace_ , nothing existed where you could actually buy a second-hand item with a credit card, get it delivered (often same-day), with only $1 down, for a fraction of the original price and without haggling, endless messaging, getting scammed, or meeting strangers in parking lots. @TryCommonplace_ makes buying used stuff feel like shopping on Amazon, but for real second-hand items at real second-hand prices. Yet somehow the old messy platforms are still the default for most people. It feels great to be building the version that just works.

  When I was 19 I moved to California with someone off Craigslist because the @lakers were down 0-3 to Dallas in the western conference finals and I was certain if I touched LA ground they would come back. (They didn’t)

  @RossGoodfellow2 I have a 2k sq_ft shop, I keep it really ***** so she never comes down. She has no idea what goes on! (She saw it yesterday actually, and out of all my high-end crazy gear, she thinks the $5k mill I bought off Craigslist is actually the coolest)

  @mattyglesias Another big issue is the death of local reporting. Local newspapers were decimated first by Craigslist, and then finished off by Facebook. I'm on a couple local councils and the Chamber of Commerce, and there is no good way to keep people informed anymore.

  @jogo_bonito00 @JPalmer98_ Fair but fewer on Zillow. The problem ones (scams/fake) congregate on Craigslist. The biggest one is obviously the credit check trolls. Really grim for low income renters.

  It should’ve been coming down the Gold escalator, calling Mexicans rapists and people sending their worst. And also, people should not have fallen for T-shirts printed up ahead of time with craigslist offers to pay then to cheer for him. THAT is why dumb people get into a cult

  @f3dscr0w Yes. That was the issue. It took the FBI’s Cybercrime Division to de-anonymize me. They discovered a Craigslist post of mine where I’d uploaded a resume showing 3 security companies I’d worked for, and the employment dates. No name. A burner phone number. Burner email. They phoned all 3 companies with the dates and were able to enumerated my name.

  Well, never had a childhood watching anime, other than VK or kissasin free uploads. In shelter some inwood jerk sold me a broken mac on Craigslist. Then I rewatched a lot of missing stuffs. My first Kirby drawing was during 2021 fall. I feel like Pokémon Kirby stole our big plans 🤔 how did they know we have PopAi n AI too!? Wow 😮 #indiedev

  Paul Mitchell (@paulmitche11) reported 25 minutes ago

  Here is the Craigslist ad for the company that hired this petition gatherer. Note: this is a subcontractor to the firm hired by CHA/CTA/Consumer Attorneys/Uber. They hire people as independent contractors. Based on the three part test in AB 5 (@LorenaSGonzalez) this is illegal. And everyone knows it. But they still hire these firms who use an illegal employment practice, one which is fraudulent, and encourages more fraud. The AG @RobBonta should be shutting all these operations down, confiscating all the signed petitions, and creating a massive cost to any organization that collects signatures with these shady firms. Firms that hire the handful of shady / monopolistic firms should fear that all their petitions will be impounded by a legal action by the state AG or a County Prosecutor if the firms they hire are breaking the states employment law. And that’s a minimum. Preferably this gets backed up by an aggressive reform. Looking at you @isaacgbryan - LFG!!

  Well, have you ever considered that maybe there was a really cool thing on craigslist that was worth like 100 billion but Erdogan was really really smart and haggled it down to just 20 and the guy fell for it and now he's just waiting for it to arrive in a week or two?

  @andrewchen craigslist worked because newspapers were already dying from their own economics. AI replacing jobs is different than AI undercutting a broken business model that refused to adapt.

  @celticsfan695 It's not good right now for tenants. You get the best deals searching between November and February. Best chance of getting a deal now is to scour Craigslist and find the ads with terrible pictures.

  I want to share a story that makes me look stupid because it is a testament to just how much America is a land of opportunity. Back in 2011 or so I was looking to get out of academia and I saw a job posted on Craigslist. It was a startup that they described as a Groupon-like new business (Google it, Gen Zers). Anyway, I emailed, they got back in touch, we discussed, and it was clear to me that I was not right for the job (see reply below for why, it's actually important). That company was called Applovin, which is now worth $138 billion dollars. Idk what number employee I'd have been--I seem to remember them saying #10, but that could be my mind playing tricks on me. Anyway, this was a craigslist ad and, if I'd been more money motivated, more willing to fake it until I make it, or maybe more confident, oh how comically absurdly repulsively rich I would be. And I ended up having coffee with one of the founders a couple of years later. We discussed what we were up to, and he was not good at all at hiding the contempt, disgust, and pity he had for me now that I was working as a lowly analyst on Wall Street, although he was certainly polite the entire time. But ex-Goldman founder types, well, they can only think in status and specifically the kinds of status games that their narrow little world certifies as valid. The moral of the story is that America has so much ******* opportunities, man, there are so many ways to make money, there are so many small companies that will become massive, and if you are not cynical and have an open mind you will find so many ways to get filthy ******* rich as a result. The best part of this story is I turned down a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (which, ironically, I've had several of), and I still ended up a multi-millionaire in my 40s with enough cash to never have to work again and able to just do what I want to do. That's how much opportunity there is in America--even the weird autist who turns down a huge opportunity still ends up wealthy. Try doing that in Germany. Or Japan. I ******* love being American man.

  Last time a newspaper classified ad was of use to me was in 2007, when an ad in a physical copy of the Tacoma Tribune got me a new apartment. After that, Craigslist online was the go to, especially in emergency situations. Too bad they had to shut down the horny part of the site.

  @skumWgmi Flip cars- get one on craigslist or facebook marketplace cheap. Fix or just clean up and sell. Try to make 1-2k. Repeat. Eventually get your dealers license (thats what I did) and have access to thousands of cars.

  @eliasluoto @DejaRu22 They’re extremely well built and will last you 10+ years. Also they have aftersales parts for anything that breaks. I picked one up on Craigslist during COVID when some offices were shutting down/going remote.

  Because: Your price was too high Your marketing was poor It has too many problems or clutter You thought Craigslist had worldwide exposure. Call a professional... Contact me if you're in Northern California.

  if you really study zuck you’d realise that zuck’s superpower was never seeing the future. it was reacting to the present faster than anyone else. stories from snapchat, reels from tiktok, marketplace from craigslist, ai from openai. every single win was a fast copy executed at a scale nobody could match. the metaverse was the first time he tried to lead instead of follow. $80 billion later he’s shutting it down & going back to doing what he’s always done - chasing whoever’s winning right now. which at the moment is ai.

  You don't need a designer. You need a decision filter for 'what belongs here.' 3 Proofs: 1. User Onboarding study: 86% of churn due to unclear flows, not ugly UI 2. Craigslist looks terrible. Still dominates because IA is perfect for its job. 3. Most redesigns fail because they change visuals without fixing structure Question: If users can't find features, will prettier buttons help?

  @BigDickBarclay I pay him in cash. My electrician is a dude I found on Craigslist that smokes an absurd amount of ********* and has wired my entire house above code. The building inspectors were genuinely impressed by his work I'm a carpenter. I can come and go and fix surprisingly...
