Income Streams

Craigslist makes money only through a handful of revenue streams. It charges a $25 fee to post a job listing in six major U.S. cities. It charges $75 for a job listing in the San Francisco area Last, the company charges a $10 fee to list an apartment rental in New York. The revenues generated from these fees cover only the operating expenses of Craigslist. The company has not made a profit since its inception. This is intentional -- Craigslist president Jim Buckmaster has stated that creating a superior user experience is more important to the company than making money.

It would be interesting if it turned out that Jim Buckmaster was someone who hated the MSM and purposely created Craigslist to deny newspapers their major revenue stream.

If I were a liberal I would suspect that the Koch brothers were secretly funding Craigslist, but then I would quickly move on from that and use Craigslist to score some dope and hook up with a kinky chick.

Of course, Mr. Buckmaster's salary, draw, expenses, and per diem are all elements of that "operating expense".
I expect I could deal with that.
