Craigslist has been in decline / shrinking for the last couple of years. I don't think it's a strong signal either way.

Well, it's definitely less popular for people looking for random sex, what with smartphone apps and all. Not sure about other things.

I will tell you with very direct experience that their _monetized_ sections are growing quickly (due to more monetization in more cities), and the overall user base is growing with overall internet usage.

I don't have 3rd party research but I've been personally logging the names and locations of paid sections for the past two years.
