It is favored among young consumers especially due to displayed profile ratings, enhancing credibility and safety for purchases. Marketplace is easily compared to thrift shopping and second-hand stores, which Gen Z and Millennials have been fans of for years—but of course, Marketplace is right on their phone. (NYT)
