Some hosts are threatening to strike, while others are plotting ways around Airbnb’s new restrictions. Guests, meanwhile, are celebrating.
AIRBNB HOSTS ARE melting down over a new policy banning them from making guests complete tasks that “would typically be performed by a cleaner,” like “stripping the bed, taking trash offsite, or washing and putting away dishes.”
The change, which applies to all bookings made on or after November 20, quickly sparked outrage after it was announced in an email to Airbnb hosts on Wednesday. Many began fuming online about losing the right to make their guests clean up after themselves.
“As hosts, we have a responsibility to protect our investments, our homes, and, in many cases, our personal living spaces,” one person wrote in Airbnb’s official forum for hosts. “The problem is that Airbnb increasingly expects hosts to accept the risks while limiting our ability to protect ourselves.”
Independent contractors threatening to strike will never not be extremely, raucously hilarious.
If you know such an idiot, please laugh as hard as you can, right in their face.
EDIT:
Enjoy being foreclosed on, you collosally arrogant, absolute wastes of human life. Your pain is the rest of society healing, and you deserve all of it.
Woof lol, just layers deeper than mere “independent contractors”, too, the strike threat is unbelievably funny.
These are people who are years downstream of even other downstream folks (the plastic-facade YouTuber hustlesphere influencer types who eventually
<???>enough popularity to move these folks into actionable FOMO lol).A “strike” 🤡
Them saying “I was squandering my inheritance, but then I wasn’t and it was so easy, I was so smart!, and now they made it harder, so I’ll have to suffer through just squandering it again and I’m mad that they did this to me!”
