Why is it "unlike" Airbnb? Airbnb's very roots color it as being dodgy, with growth hacking techniques like spamming Craigslist and all: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbnb#Use_of_spam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbnb#Use_of_spam
- chejazi 11y agoThis is a good point you raise. Violating Craigslist's terms, playing business hardline, and the other issues presented on that wiki section are indeed controversial. But I'm pretty okay with letting them slide in pursuit of Airbnb's broader mission. What I'm not okay with is calling out other groups of people. Airbnb is about opening your home up to others, but their latest actions are the very antithesis of that spirit. Intergroup attacks are a new low for Airbnb.
