Joe Gebbia joins DOGE

[Jo1009]

Hi everyone,

Is anyone else concerned that Joe Gebbia has joined DOGE?

Does he still earn income from Airbnb as a board member? This makes me very sad as I can't support a guy like that.  I really like the service airbnb provides and the ease of use for a host.

Anyone else feel the same way?

Yes, very concerned. I also really like the Airbnb platform and I am also very sad . Looking into alternatives. Have you found any?

[Jo1009]

I have used booking.com in the past and did not like the platform for a variety of reasons.

I am going to download and see how VRBO works and then slowly transition to that platform as I have booking for months now.

I hope Airbnb responds and Mr. Gebbia resigns his position......  

How very disappointing for a platform that is supposed to be inclusive of diversity.

People are looking into www.houfy.com as well

[Julee0]

www.houfy.com is one.

www.flipkey.com is another.

Someone else is talking about booking.com but that seems a bit different.

Anyway - its sad.  I am a host of 12 years and a Superhost and I will be looking to list elsewhere unless they lose Joe Gebbia fast.

[Jo1009]

Booking.com is awful:(

They don't vet their guests.  You are completely alone if they do anything to violate your terms.  YOu pay their percentage after the fact.  It's not user friendly. 

I was on booking.com and promptly got off.

Even more impossible to get ahold of someone to help with an issue.

I'm with you 100%.  I, too am a longtime Superhost and I'm super upset about this.

Guess it's VRBO for me! 

Why can't these people use their money for good! So much good could be done. Especially now. Why join him? It's time to be the antidote!

[Jo1009]

Can we all be emailing Airbnb and have him resign????!!!

Won't he be too busy anyway hollowing out the government and removing DEI iniatives?

[Julee0]

RIGHT!!  I have been sending feedback and I have contacted Superhost support! lol

[Jo1009]

Who did you write to?

[Rick6207]

Any reply/feedback? I suspect none! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

 Please remove Joe Gebbia from his board position at airb&b org and pressure him to step down from DOGE or divest himself of his 7% interest in Airbnb. Your continued silence on this matter is unacceptable from a leader. I was about to list as a host and have enjoyed being a traveler but will support alternative platforms even if it costs me massively personally to do so. Gebbia’s support for Musk’s efforts is 100% unacceptable morally. To allow him to continue to chair the board for airb&b org sends a clear message of support for his actions. I understand not wishing to alienate segments of the population. How is that choice working out for Tesla stock? 

[Rick6207]

The sooner the better! 😡😡😡😡😡😡

[Rick6207]

I've already looked and looked. Can't find any way to contact airbnb and complain about this directly..... 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
