The Godot Foundation's two financial reports, read together. Revenue up 62.6%, surplus down 71.3%, and a note that names four revenue categories while publishing a value for none of them.
Craigslist has never disclosed its finances, so every revenue figure is an estimate. The famous $694M stat is a frozen 2018 peak; AIM Group data shows it has fallen to about $302M by 2024. Here is the sourced ledger and the operator lesson.
