Craigslist is a free classified advertisements website that was started in 1995 by Craig Newmark as an email list. It now operates in over 700 cities worldwide. While the site remains largely unchanged since 1996, it generates around $126 million annually in revenue primarily from job, apartment, and ticket postings. As one of the top 50 most visited websites globally, Craigslist continues operating with around 30 employees and prioritizes simplicity, community, and customer service over profit maximization.
