Same reason someone would be willing to rent a pod with barely enough room for a sleeping bag and shared access to a toilet across the street: price That aside

That aside banning people for external reviews is nonsense. What’s next, banning someone for speaking (literally talking) about their negative experience?
- ibejoeb 8y agoIsn't "banning" the user in this case simply declining to provide the service? If I were a house painter and, for whatever arbitrary reason, I decide that I don't really like you, I wouldn't paint your house even if you demanded it. I have the right to not engage you. You don't have the right to compel me to engage. As much as Airbnb made this worse that it had to be, I think the flip-side is much worse. Imagine if by some authority one individual was compelled to buy a good from or perform a service for another individual.
- s73v3r_ 8y agoI disagree. This is not AirBnB deciding they just don't like someone. This is AirBnB deciding to ban someone because they gave a negative review. I think the world where you're banned from services for speaking honestly about them is far worse than the alternative. If we can't speak honestly about our experiences, then others simply are not capable of making informed decisions, and all of capitalism goes poof.
