Which adds complexity. The CL model works as it's requirements are so simple, two humans that:

- Can communicate in the same language

- Can use a web browser

- Are able to make transactions of some kind (cash, check, Square, barter, CL doesn't care about the specifics)

Which makes their available market a rather large majority of the entire population of the Internet. Each extra restriction or requirement makes it less likely a given person will get involved.

Be very careful about "innovating" away simplicity.
