I got dogpiled for saying it, but Marketplace is remarkably unenshittified. It’s bare bones internet from 2010. The worst thing about it is directing you to ads, or annoyingly pushing you to mail items (where they can take a cut), but compared to the main social feed, it’s much more focused on what you actually want.
That’s why everyone uses it. If it were actually enshittified, there’s plenty of competitors out there.
I tried one the other day, but it required a photo ID to sell, so I said naw to that.
You’ve given more away to Facebook. If Facebook hasn’t asked for photo ID it’s because its system is confidant it knows who you really are. Other people will be asked for photo ID when signing up for a Facebook account.
Calling marketplace, which requires a login and a scan of your face and probably a blood sample these days, barebones is hilarious. Have you never used Craigslist? It accomplishes the exact same thing and is actually barebones.

I get dogpiled for saying it, but craigslist was and is fine, and there’s no reason to move off of it

I’ve had a facebook account from early days, so haven’t had to go through that. Fair crticism, though.
I am an old fart and still find pretty solid deals on craigslist.
I didn’t need any form of ID, I post anonymously
