Agree. That's the secret sauce to any platform. With things where they're at now with AirBNB, hostel sites, and locations that will actually underwrite awful experiences for guests/hosts, I naively assume CouchSurfing is a shadow of its former self. Allegedly, CouchSurfing started adding fees in with covid19, including paid verification.
