Craigslist used to be the undisputed king of online classifieds — the internet’s garage sale, sketchy roommate finder, and missed connections hub all rolled into one. But somewhere along the line… it just stopped being useful.
In this episode, we wonder: What happened? Who is Craig, and is he still alive (spoiler: he is, and he’s actually doing great)? Why does the site still look like it’s allergic to modern design? And why, despite all our gripes, does Facebook Marketplace — the slightly sinister, overly personal alternative — actually work?
Join us as we fall down a rabbit hole of digital nostalgia, mild tech rage, and accidental social commentary. It’s a story of two platforms, one necessary evil, and a whole lot of “Is this still available?”
