I think it’s important for hosts to chronicle departures.
Many of us went singularly all-in with the platform, advocated for Airbnb without compensation in all kinds of ways both on and off line, never seeking acknowledgement.
The community aspect is still there because it doesn’t belong to any one entity. What has changed is the alliances leadership is making.
Can it be wrestled out of evil hands at work?
Should we withdraw as antagonizers suggest?
Something in between?
That’s a decision each person must make on their own. I leave room for things to get worse before they get better. Great hosts are leaving and may never return, the quality of bookings are decreasing, Airbnb is firing much needed staff, while simultaneously sponsoring enemies of the state AND making it harder to vet guests at a time when it’s most needed. Hosts should take seriously the threats that exit (no, not the ridiculous plandemic). Prepare, modify your practices accordingly, scale back activity where appropriate, diversify.
It used to be that a kingdom was where ever the king and the people were, if the people left one area for another, that’s where the kingdom was. What authority does a leader have without a people? Mass exodus coming?
