That would require them to change their model to a curated list of rentals as opposed to a smorgasbord of shit. They know the more quality controls they put in place will result in less available units so there really isn't a motivation to crack down on shit rentals. Eventually when enough people stop using the platform someone in a boardroom will ask why rentals are down and someone in market research will say quality control of rentals at which some pea brained solution will be dreamt up. Also want to point out superhosts might of been attempt to address this problem but I've routinely picked superhosts and many have disappointed.
