I've been without Facebook for a decade now. Given what I know, it sounds like I'm missing out on some good stuff going on in Facebook Groups. I also hear Facebook Marketplace is the new Craigslist but Craigslist has been good enough for me still.

Marketplace is a mess. Absolutely unusable. The sheer volume of paid ads mixed with volumes of scams and really, really obnoxious creative (think borderline porn)makes it impossible to use with any clarity. Or even to use to find something specific.

It shows how awful FB is at design and UX. They really are the Fisher Price of the web. Its seems as if they build for stupid people who have no tech skills... In other words: the majority of people...

marketplace has almost completely replaced craigslist in my area. i do occasionally find some good deals on Craigslist but by far I have a better chance of finding something specific on Fb.
