Airbnb Blocks Negative Reviews As Stock Delivers Negative Investor Returns

the first and last time i did an airbnb with the child there was an unsheathed x-acto knife blade loose in their bin of toddler toys. he was 2 years old and i probably only found it before he did because the playroom (reason for booking) was an unmitigated disaster when we got there and i was cleaning it.

this is a house with a playroom. like the whole listing is around this insanely whimsical magical playroom for little kids. we arrived an hour before bedtime and the crib was broken. this was a smaller problem than the ac. which was broken too. it was a heat wave in the area and the child was down to diaper only and still sleeping flushed. we would never have considered a place without ac. we wouldn't have booked a place without ac at any price. they weren't able to fix the ac. it was broken the whole week we were there. there were no fans and they did not bring us any.

levels is right. airbnb does remove negative reviews. i didn't leave one.

i don't know. i can only assume airbnb is run by hr ladies. there's no second order thinking. if i try hard enough i can imagine the shape of the problem as they see it. people buy houses to run these airbnbs. houses are expensive. the hr ladies see this and think something like, people put their livelihoods on the line. they could lose it all! one bad review and they could lose it all! we cannot let that happen. this is someone's livelihood.

ok. people buy a house and they make it look good in the photos and every little thing they buy for the house is based on does it look good in the photos. probably every decision they make boils down to does it look good in the listing.

the end result is you're paying to stay in an instagram post. and it is just like an instagram post because it's fake and staged and in various states of disrepair and all undone if you were to peer around the corner just out of the frame.

airbnb does not let you sort results by price. sure. you can filter on price range to restrict the result set. you cannot sort by price descending.

airbnb's been around for 20 years and not once has sort by price descending been possible. i have to assume this is a dark pattern. the dark pattern is likely different than that of booking sites, which are nearly openly pay to play, where the sort is bought and sold and ruled by highest rakes. i don't know what the dark pattern is here. but i have to assume it's a dark pattern.

i'm not interested. i'm a hotel person anyway.

ugh, weird. i remember being guiled into day trading AirBnB in my shower on robinhood (sorry overshare of a memory lol, i also made like $700 when a plane landed on a BlackBerry option in NYC once was cool) i expected it (AirBnB) to become very successful i am kind of digging this product offering I think more, @Padsplit is better, //

If anyone needs a 12-week stay or more that's really affordable and neat in the United States, this is it, prices are ~150-200 for a whole week even. That's difficult to get under 1200 for a studio, 1500-1800/mo for more anywhere here really a month rn. https://www.padsplit.com/?sign-up=&referralCode=5B9BB018&ref_device=desktop&ref_role=m&ref_source=social lmk how it goes or http://highermark.xyz ill hook up anyone with a phone im working some things, padsplit is less of a shill even more of like i hope ur not needing a place to stay and about to spend $3K a month on some airbnb or something cheers.
