My business can't wait an indefinite amount of time for some machine to "learn," lol, how to include my boat into the boats category so I can start generating income from my boat. My lucky competition has been included in the boats category, all the guests are almost exclusively going to them now because when guests want to book a boat they just click on the very conspicuous boats filter everyone can see at the top of the page now, the guests believe they must choose from whatever listing shows up under 'boats', very few people are still sorting through the hundreds of properties coming up for regular searches.
How simple would it be to include in the boats filter all of the properties that the hosts have marked as 'boat' in property type, and then if Airbnb wanted to ensure they really are boats, they could go through each manually and take out the listings that are not really boats. My point is they shouldn't be condemning us to no income until some machine may someday 'learn' something or some human may someday manually get around to placing us into the right categories.
How could Airbnb do this to us, display such unique property filters without first ensuring they work right? Do they really not care about putting some of us out of business for an indefinite amount of time, is this our reward we get for trusting this platform with our livelihood? I'm tempted to complain to Better Business Bureau or write articles about the destruction of the platform after the update, but I don't want to burn my bridges with Airbnb. I'm praying God to help fix this problem and restore our livelihoods again.
