- xapata 5y agoThe same people that wanted to host in the first place. When I was really into Couchsurfing, my girlfriend and I searched for apartments that made it easy to host, the same way that people seek ways to host via AirBnB. I enjoyed hearing stories from travelers, and showing them around town.
- bakuninsbart 5y agoI didn't know about the changes but actually wanted to reactivate my CS account after a couple years of absence. Now that the travel restrictions are mostly gone and me and my girlfriend finally have a flat with a nice living room I wanted to give something forward. But I'm not gonna pay for it to an at this point frankly dubious middleman.
- thomasahle 5y agoI guess some people may still want to host. At least if the community is still as good as when I used to host. Personally I'm sceptical that it is, and not going to pay to find out. I'd rather support the newcomers on Couchers.org and the like.
