Not the original poster, but moving classifieds online lost newspapers a whole lot of money, money that previously financed quality journalism, not to mention the people in charge of maintaining the classifieds ads business.
If you are working for the newspaper, your job is a reaction to the death of the original business, and you are the automation that came in their stead
