I guess: great concept, shitty company.
Like with so many "tech giants", they had a great idea but greed is spoiling it. I wish we had more "public infrastructure" for this. I'd love to have OSS, tax-funded or at least heavily regulated SoMe, video sharing, home swapping/renting, local marketplace, ... Those should not be industries, they should be part of our society's fabric like the fire department or trash pick-up.
I share a lot of of the criticism towards AirBnB. However, I've often ended up using them either way. We travel with a dog and a toddler. They need to be allowed in the first place.

Thanks! But I could easily read the full article without seeing a paywall in this case
I am eyeing Tuxedo but also have to say I'm considering Asus. Not European, but IMHO Taiwan is less problematic than China or the US. And their track record and community are simply a lot more established.
I think we all lose by supporting Amazon 😜
I get it though, I used to use it too a few years back. Honestly never played anything I claimed through it
Tried that many times. It has given me the exact same place for slightly cheaper than AirBnB once. Other times it was more expensive but most often of simply had worse choices.
