AirBnB bans host for knowing the wrong people, without disclosing who the wrong person was, denies appeals with cookie cutter mails (“after careful consideration”) every time.
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.
