  @ClintFiore Reminds me of Craigslist adding a nominal fee to jobs/gigs/apartment listings to cut down on spam and fraud.

  @r_zthai lol right? At 20, I’d reverse engineer the damn board in Eagle if it would save a few bucks. Now? Ehhhh. Nah, thanks. Read your post this morning and thought “well ****, why don’t I?” Got me to actually diagnose the problem, and I snapped some pics of the washer + dryer so the missus can throw ‘em up on Craigslist now. Done deal. Buying a new one was arguable if it was just some crap that froze the pump. Burned out motor controller means I’d be waiting around until next week to see if that was even really the root of the problem. Or at the very least I’d have to dump another couple hours into verifying everything that gets plugged into the board is okay. On top of… finding a laundry mat while I waited, I guess?

  @ArmandoNDK It's freakin' amazing this weird chick is a U.S. Rep. Not putting woman down here by no means. But maybe @NancyMace would represent Craiglist better?

  @PayNoTack @Bob_Smith Yeah, these "well established" standards are exactly the strings that tie everyone's hands, leading to this midwit mode collapse in the first place. Who established those standards, and did they work for JP Morgan or Jeffery Epstein? (inb4 no, I am not being hyperbolic) Bessent is a clown if he believes the things he says, and he is a liar otherwise. It would really not be hard to find someone more competent, like, on craigslist. Private finance itself is part of the problem. When Dodd Frank forced all of the loan sharks into the private credit market, they became rich enough to seem kind of legitimate. I realize that he has a different charter than walsh, but at a bare minimum, I would require that all government employees have the common goal of serving the american people.

  @manishsinhaha @JustJake craigslist still exists! these things can stagnate but it seems like they die extremely slowly and keep being valuable on the way down...

  The best local flips go to whoever refreshes first. That's a stupid way to decide who gets what. Built Snagjaw to fix it — watches Facebook, OfferUp, Craigslist, Mercari, and estate-sale calendars around the clock, fires on match, and auto-DMs sellers before the listing goes

  @VirgisViews @SHET0SHI @Alexintosh Craigslist was covered by legal liability protections, which meant that their activities were not illegal. That changed in 2018, when congress passed FOSTA. They subsequently shut down their personals section. So, you’re right. It’s not the same. They weren’t breaking the law.

  My go-to pre-sell landers are advertorials. And the type of advertorials that I've scaled the hardest are the one-story ones. I am pushing this exact structure to $30k days right now. And that basic diagram pretty much explains the whole structure. This pre-sell lander doesn’t have blocks. It has one continuous story holding the whole page up. So here's how you build an advertorial that doesn't have a **** structure: 1. Status quo fails - this is not "you have a problem." Anyone can write that... it's the copywriting equivalent of showing up to a first date and going "so you're single, huh." What actually works is that the reader's best previous attempt already failed, and ideally it failed on the word of someone credible (i.e. "My doctor told me there was nothing he could do"). Keep it short and clear. The reader already lived this problem, so you don't need to narrate their pain back to them; you just need to say the failure precisely enough that they go "wait, that's me." 2. Expert reframes it - here's where it gets fun, because this is the actual hinge the whole page swings on, and most pre-sell landers I see out there are just skipping it. A credible outsider shows up and says "actually, that's not why this is happening", and reframes the cause into something the reader never connected to their own situation. For example, "the nerves in your feet are suffocating and dying off" is not a sentence a normal person says about their own foot pain. It's a sentence a guy in a white coat says, and it works specifically because it's dramatic AND it's coming from someone whose job title makes the drama feel earned instead of manufactured. If you skip this part entirely, you probably jump straight from "my life sucks" to "buy my thing," which is not a story, it's a Craigslist ad... 3. Transformation is proof - this is the actual cheat code, and it's the part people underrate the hardest. Normal pages need a separate testimonials section because nobody's been following any one person's story A one-story lander doesn't need that section at all, because the reader has been walking through one person's entire arc this whole time, and their result at the end of it just is the testimonial. Nobody had to tell you it works. You watched it happen in real time, sentence by sentence, which lands completely differently than 5-star icons and a stranger's name under a quote. 4. Convert - by the time the offer shows up, the readers already believe the mechanism, they already saw it pay off, so the actual purchase decision has basically already happened in their head. The CTA at this point is a formality, and this is also why guarantees and bonuses do more here than on a modular landing page. They're not there to convince, they're there to remove the last tiny bit of friction for someone who's already decided. And this my friend, is an advertorial structure that prints $100k days on cold traffic. That's why it converts so well. Nothing on the page should feel like persuasion. It feels like a story that happens to end with a product.

  Back in the day, when I was doing mid-tier / database web work, Indeed and the job boards, craigslist where the go-to places to get employed. When I lived in Orlando, I could walk downtown and knock on doors and get a coding job within a week. (usually a day) Somehow, a week became months....and now nothing. No problem... However , something else has changed. "The Corporate Environment" ? I frankly DO NOT WANT TO WORK FOR SUCH ******** EVER AGAIN. I will build my own business, even though I do not like "business" and work for God and His kingdom. This is rant is courtesy of my mailbox in-feed with lots of Indeed and Linked In nothing burgers...and do not get me started on the "Hello, Sar...This is SuryaPravda Oopta, I share this job with you that is nowhere in your resume" Then there was this dream job interview and it went well until the woman wet herself asking me, "So t What do you think about DIVERSITY!!!!!" This is a long way of saying that "Our Economy" is not here anymore. #DNWTWFSAEA

  AI just tearing through my problems and tasks. It's so great to be bionic. "Write a Craigslist ad. Make a bill of sale. Price this item. Give me a chepear way to send a letter with tracking." I'm just laughing to myself.

  @realkarenjean They're burner cars bought from craigslist. Purchased from private party, with zero intent on registering. They smash into someone / something, abandon the vehicle, then they track down the original owner, who then has to defend themselves...

  A solo dev opened Flutter, spent 3 weeks on it, and shipped a ride-hail app a casual user couldn't tell apart from Uber. Yellow branding. Live map. GoabX, GoabXL, GoabBike tiers with prices. Visa 4242 on file. Home, Work, Airport saved. "Confirm GoabX" button. The whole flow. Pause at 0:08. Look at the split screen. Simulator on the right running the sign-up screen. auth_screen.dart on the left — the actual Flutter source with _Chip extending StatelessWidget, _CircleBtn wrapping a GestureDetector, BoxDecoration in black and white, Icon at 17.sp. That's not a mockup. That's a shipped auth flow. What the clone has: → Flutter frontend, one codebase, iOS and Android at once → Google Maps + custom route rendering → Ride-tier chips (X / XL / Bike) → Card-on-file with Visa masking → Google + Apple + Facebook social login stubs What the clone doesn't have: → 5 million active drivers → Regulatory clearance in 10,000 cities → A $60 billion payout rail already routed → Insurance underwriters who approved the safety model → Every dispute-resolution playbook Uber wrote from 2012 to now That's the entire product. Here's what nobody in the "just clone it" space is saying out loud: the interface was never Uber's moat. The moat is a two-sided marketplace with 5 million drivers who show up at 3 AM when you tap a button. You can build the button in Flutter in 3 weeks. You can't build the 5 million drivers in 3 lifetimes. The old loop is dead: study successful app → clone the frontend → deploy on the App Store → wonder where the users went. The new loop: study successful app → identify the offline-supply moat → build the supply first → treat the app as the last 5%. The point worth arguing about: the hardest part of building an Uber isn't Uber. It's convincing a stranger with a car to log in on Tuesday at 3 AM when it's raining. Everything else is a Figma file. I know a founder who spent 18 months writing beautiful marketplace code and shipped to zero drivers. Meanwhile a friend of mine ran Craigslist ads for 2 weeks, found 40 house cleaners in one city, matched them with 60 buyers, took 15%. He didn't need a Flutter app. He had a Google Form. The interface is free. The supply is the whole company. Literally.

  @PieterVand37940 @viking_boer This is a very solvable issue. There are cheap, still working, washers on Craigslist. We need one guy with a pickup in each city and one American who can swing a used washer for each Amerikaner family who needs one. I have a truck.

  @BallUpTopBrad They didn’t have a choice, Brad. They’ve shopped JB for years. Never found a good deal and other teams turned him down for their stars. This year they literally posted him on Craigslist and he sat there for weeks and that was the best offer that came back.
