    This is some boringdistopia shit. Some bot damn near ruins a family and won’t even tell them why.

      No, a family that could not afford to own a second home bought one and then couldn’t profit from it.

        exactly. The housing market already sucks for people to be buying a 2nd house specifically to use as AirBnB to profit

        They couldn’t profit from it because of a bot. That issue is going to get more widespread and someone you know will be affected by it.

    I think that maybe the lesson I’m learning in these last few years (through the misadventures of others), is that trusting platforms with your livelihood is not a very good idea. It’s just too fragile.

    I’m OK to use them as a tool, but whatever business I build must be able to survive suddenly losing access.
