Isn't Airbnb's reaction a normal one? Wouldn't anyone do the same if it could have adverse effects on their current round of funding?

- jcc80 15y agoI suppose so but it's such a short-term view. If the founders are true-believers (which they obviously are) they really should have tried to think about this incident in chunks of 1 week from now, 1 month from now, 1 year from now, etc. It may have helped put things in perspective instead of going into a panic about the next round of funding. Easier said than done of course.
- palish 15y agoStep 1) have home utterly destroyed via Airbnb Step 2) write a blog post sharing how terrible the situation is, and to indicate you're slightly upset about this Step 3) get cut off from Airbnb customer service, then receive call from Airbnb co-founder asking to remove the blog post because "it might impact our funding" No. I wouldn't do the same.
