  Years ago, I Interviewed for a really good job around the same time my phone # was being used for some craigslist scam & after multiple calls I finally lost it on a # I didn't know and of course it was the company calling. That feeling was so terrible, still went and interviewed.

  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!!

  @RedPillMediaX @ScottPresler already has his skinny jeans down around his cowboy boots. I wonder if he'll sell the videos on Craigslist again?

  @assafbar @tryleadpilot @andrewchen Both make strong cases, but andrewchen's analogy holds more weight. Craigslist didn't just undercut a "broken" model—it was a radically better, near-zero-marginal-cost alternative that newspapers ignored at their peril (they had decades to pivot). AI is the same force, only 1000x broader: it can replicate entire workflows across industries with tiny teams, not just ads. Adaptation beats denial every time.

  @PS0302 @lyndseyfifield @SammyBarrow32 Can definitely fix appliances yourself but it almost always means getting new parts. Meanwhile the frozen food is going to waste and probably has to be emptied anyways to make repairs. Best solution is cheapest freezer you can find on craigslist to tide you over. Maybe even rent

  @krishna1ndia @peer_metals @grok If you put an ad out in the newspaper, craigslist, FB Marketplace, community shopper newspapers, go to coin shows, go to jewelry shops, etc. This is not an issue, use your brain.

  Everyone talks about Airbnb's Craigslist hack. The real lesson is the opposite of a hack. They flew to meet 24 users. They knocked on doors. They took photos themselves. The founders who find product-market fit fastest are the ones willing to do unscalable things until they understand exactly what's broken. Scale the insight. Not the hustle.

  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_ Commonplace 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.

  @traff1c_junky yeah any year CRV is sought after, especially ones that are much easier to fix like your ‘98. I’d post it on facebook marketplace, Craigslist etc and get way more money than Carfax trade in

  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.

  @0hour1 if craigslist allowed people to sell their animals, this would happen less often. laws are also part of the problem.

  @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.

  @J3ssicaStarling People pushed for COMPANIES to have to be responsible for the content they HOST. Since UNDERAGE girls, Trafficking victims, and REVENGE porn victims couldn’t get photos of themselves taken down. ******** and Craigslist CHOSE to remove the ability to post yourself safely to save $
