Probably they’ll try to bring back features that cause people to interact more publicly, like poking. No way sponsored posts and ads are going away.
For me it is an unusable app, way too little organic content on there. Marketplace is great though.
Marketplace sucks ass. Search is broken, get nothing but “is this available?” Because people accidently hit the button. Bunch of bored drunk people messaging you and wasting your time. Tons of scammers. I never had those issues with craigslist except for scammers.
Where I’m from we have an alternative website to Craigslist that has many, many more scammers and time wasters than marketplace. At least marketplace has your actual name and face tied to the account.
Not to say that those problems don’t exist on marketplace for me, just that it is the place where they are the least bad.

I ditched it in 2016 and haven’t felt a loss.
Fair enough! I’ve wanted to move the in-laws family group messages away from Messenger, but the family doesn’t see the point.
