I find this to be pretty expected by now. I wanted to say it’s a culture problem but it is really more than that but I am lacking the word.
It is similar to when you have a startup. Cohorts when they first start are fully bought in, energetic and trying to give it their all. If you don’t foster and maintain that, people get jaded and the experience vanishes. Airbnb just like an Uber/Lyft went through the same phase. When Airbnb was brand new it was generally a beautiful experience. Uber/Lyft/sidecar were also magical experiences in the beginning. Then it became less about the experience and about the raw economics of the business. Due to many different reasons of course but I think it’s extremely hard for AirBnb to maintain the experience. You have to either pick to enforce strict requirements on hosts or you open it up to everyone and have the current situation.
