What happened to Nextdoor? A few months ago it looked like it had a lot of engagement, mostly from older people. But it seems to be an ads and classified app now. 80% posts are businesses spamming the feed. #nextdoor
It's for old people
Rates are higher. Need to show profit
Advertising seemed to help with that. Now it’s basically tons of people doing free advertising.
They started having neighborhood supervisors who tend to lean one way or other. So they would take down posts depending on how they feel that day. In a way its suppression of freedom. So a lot of people just stopped using the platform.
No wonder older people seemed to love that. Looks like they got disillusioned with that they liked.
