I worked for a few different newspapers in the early '00s, including a nationwide conglomerate. Craigslist was the end. Papers have been struggling to make ends meet ever since.
Which is unfortunate because the Craigslist experience is terrible and 'Craig' doesn't want to update the site. It's chock full of spam, phone repair ads, and dozens of the same thing listed in every search. You would honestly think some employee could devise a way to detect and remove such things, but no.
I don't even care that the design of the site is 'old', I just want better listings.
