Craigslist thoughts
I am totally against the move, but I also believe it didn't have to come to this. CL is a pretty under-optimized site/company who really could have thought their way to a better solution.

thats kind of stupid. like the hookers are going to say "wow i cant post on craigslist, i think ill stop fucking for money". girls have been fucking for money as long as they have had vaginas. they will just find another site or hit the street corners.

I totally disagree. With this move, prostitution will end. I guarantee all those girls are scrambling to find a school to enroll in or an honest Jesus approved trade to learn. ![]() Its a given. Next up is to remove drug references from movies and that problem will be gone as well.

craigslist was no worse than your local classifieds. That shit got blown way out of proportion. The U.S. is one of the few industrialized nations where prostitution is illegal. It's frakin retarded.

A printed publication isn't going to run an ad where a girl states she's under 18 and looking to exchange $$ for sex, where as CL would post the ad and only pull the content if they received user complaints. The process of post going live, report being filed by user, CL employees researching and pulling content exposed the company to alot of risk that IMO could have been somewhat avoided. |

I know a billionaire, he's incredibly bored with anyone who comes to him with money making ideas. I imagine CL has a criteria for charging a city for Apt. ads that has something to do with how well that city is doing financially. CL is run like a non-profit and has never been about making money, it's as much a public service as it is a profit machine. Which is what makes it far more dissapointing that they had to cave the the pressure of these asshole AG's. But it's fun to imagine what could be done with a little of that traffic. I bet you could make a million dollars a day with a single rotating banner. But when you have a site worth 5 billion dollars who worrys about pocket change.

I just don't understand praising that kind of thinking. If you want to praise them for not making money and look at them like a "Robin Hood" of the internet, I guess you could, I just don't subscribe to that way of thinking. I mean, we're all here to make money, right? The claim put forth that CL was worth 5 billion was made in early 2008 and pretty much was shot down by ValleyWag as soon as it was made - http://valleywag.gawker.com/375850/i...orth-5-billion Bad estimates and even worse math. The days of huge traffic websites being worth "a billion dollars" based more off potential to generate revenue rather than already generating the massive revenue dollars that would support the valuation are pretty much over. No one's buying companys at 10X earnings anymore. What's happening with CL reminds me alot of how things hapened with FaceBook. I'm sure CL has a lot less overhead, but to cut to the core of it they are both run by people who at one time touted people and principals over profit. Facebook has been making a pretty sharp 180 on that over the past year. 3 or 4 years ago you would have never imagined FaceBook would be using your avatar and name in 3rd party ads to try and sell things to your friends list. Will be interesting to see if the day will come when CL follows suit. |

I wasn't able to load valleywag... what did it valuate CL at? I highly doubt anyone would say less than 3B. The 5B was an estimate that assumed that CL would stay ad free, I don't see the bad math.
And assuming CL is going to start selling their ass like facebook is like saying Mother Theresa is going to start selling crack. You're trippin girl.

They even removed the Adult Gigs section from the US listings. This does nothing but moves them into another section. They'll start posting in the Casual Encounters area or Massage section, which they were already doing. How come they don't go after Backpage.com? They have ads on there that are even worse, photos and phone numbers all in the ad. At least on CL you only got to post one small photo. This just gives the lawyers and groups a chance to pat themselves on the back. Would be funny if they turned the hooker section back on after the weekend.

Far more than patting each other on the back this gives them the power of precedent to now go after backpage and others... next stop the porn industry. extremely disturbing shit

Not trying to be a dick, but am wondering if you're not here to make money, why are you here?
Here is the meat and potatoes from the ValleyWag article: Quote:
IMO a business is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Factor in the current state of the economy with the added dissapointing returns on the majority of the large multi-million dollar dot com aquisitions- not to mention the controversy over the product- no one's going pick this up in the billion dollar range. ![]() |

I don't think the govt can legally force CL to comply.
I bet the ads are back within a week. It's called Freedom Of Speech. |
