There are hosts who aren’t abusing AirBnB—they’re just uncommon. When you do get one, you know it. I can see why people would want to tip in those cases, especially if you’re paying significantly less than a nearby hotel for much greater value, and often a personalized experience. But it’s rare. That doesn’t change the fact that AirBnB has a big problem, and what they’re doing here is tone-deaf. Yeah, tips might make sense sometimes, but fix the problem before you start soliciting tips.
