Has anyone else's views nose-dived since the "new" Airbnb?

As predicted, my listing views have plummeted. I'm sure some hosts' listing views have increased, but for those of us with listings not exciting enough to be featured at $1,000/night, views have dropped.

 

I averaged 35 views per day prior to the change. Now I'm average 10 views per day. That's due to the "anytime" search function being removed, as well as the fact that my maximum stay is 3 nights, so I will never show up in the "weekly" search.

 

Anyone else notice a change in their listing views?

Hi @Suzanne302 

 

Thanks for your feedback, and sorry to hear that you've noticed a reduction in views.

As you'll know, we're passing on all feedback received, and I've added this most recent update from you.  I'll keep an eye out in case anyone responds with the same issue, and make sure that's passed along as well.

Yes. On April 25 I had 102 views. May 1 I had 61. May 9 I had 40. 

I'm not a big destination spot. And just a one-room home share, and I had my calendar block until around Feb due to the pandemic, but the graph shows the plummet. 


---> That's how I look at most guests, like cousins. And you know, some of those cousins are kooks.

My house doesn’t have a reservation for a while, I check one of my house view and it down a lot this month. I attached picture here. I have 400-500 a month ago AA570B42-4DB4-4C2C-978B-BB86BC5A3256.jpeg

I don’t know the reason. It just suddenly stopped. This house is mostly full until beginning of August, then no reservation at all after that. Last year, Aug reservation was full. But for now, for a long time, no movement anymore.

Today, I got a reservation. Even though only 2 days, and my minimum is 3 days for that period, Normally I accept 2 days when only 2 or 3 days is in between reservations. I am sure I didn't make changes for those dates (it should still 3 days minimum because when booking, there is 4 days available). it's strange but ok since the date is very close. Then  I looked at my view again, it jump to 500 again. Maybe it's their algorithm?
