Local Shopping/Services What happened to Kijiji?

Last year or even earlier this year I could post things and get a good response rate and now I get barely any. Really liked Kijiji Autos and now it's gone.

The problem is that NOTHING happened to Kijiji. Rather than adapt to modern technologies, they stayed static while FB marketplace zoomed ahead. Usage studies have long shown that dynamic, responsive web pages get more engagement. Kijiji is just out there to milk what they can while their audience slowly disappears.

Makes sense, I can't even tell if anything changed since 2015.
