Obviously with Backpage closed they are giving merb a shot. I think the reason why not more indies use merb is because its rather pricy compare to BP and the "pool of players" is much smaller. Its like everybody knew backpage, it was one of the first place the casual hobbyist would go. On the other hand the "annonce" websites and humpchies does not seem to have the reputation BP had.. so they don't want to advertise there.
