If your better is still bad, you're not good

How is a platform that consists of bots and scammers any better?

I don't know about you, but it's fairly easy to see if someone real is behind Facebook profile vs someone running a scam. When I buy or sell on marketplace it's local and if we don't have a friend in common or a friends of a friend, or an open profile that looks real there is little time wasted.

In contrast, in Craigslist-land I'm interacting with just a phone number or an email.
