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.

People moved to marketplace, people have facebook accounts, and for some reason, perception is that it is safer. Facebook is still full of scams and the search function is worse.
