Craigslist committed suicide. It can be next to worthless now. It can by Robo action and semi AI decide what you can and can't sell even if it is completely legal to sell. Trolls flag and remove just about any ad for no reason given. It is not true that Craigslist has not changed since its inception. Now they cross the line on keeping ads anonymous by requiring a linked telephone account for some users. This is totally fake account security. They have what seems to be call centers in India where no one speaks English flagging and removing ads and tagging posters as abusive. They have no understanding of the sense of humor or idiom. You put up an ad to sell nuts. flagged and removed. Somedays yes some days no. In politics, they decide what is politics and what is not politics now. That is just insane. The platform is next to worthless now. High Ad prices in some categories or your ads subject to wokism by perma-trolls who flag and remove just about anything.
But fortunately, there are new free classified ad sites that compete. One has become too tied to facebook which also censors ads and the other is unreliable with log-in problems. Claz.org or ClaZ.org is the best new one to use and a lot of people are discovering it for free online classified ads. In the past, I promoted Craiglist when it was not a soviet anti-free enterprise as it is now. Claz.org can be searched for on Google and Bing. Claz.org is not anonymous but it does not censor all your content and I have no flagging and removing of anything so far.
Craigslist is not even worth searching though anymore. That is because when you know they are censoring you know they favor whoever is paying for an ad over someone who is using it for a free ad and may have lower prices or options. If you want to live in a world of tight market controls on content, ideas and statements craigslist may be for you if you want economic freedom dump craigslist and go to Claz.org.
