Why do they publish blogposts on such a lame paywalled website though...
- josefritzishere 2y agoSeems pretty consistent with their revenue model.
- tomhow 2y agoIs this post paywalled for you? Or is there just a signup/login banner that you can dismiss? If there's a paywall we'll pin a workaround at the top.
- SSLy 2y agoMy User Agent goes around the paywall easily.

- JohnScolaro 2y agoI was wondering that too! Surely Airbnb - a company that runs a website - has the capability to put a text post on their own website. Then they'd own the content, and people looking for it could find it easier? It's not a revolutionary concept either, Facebook has one: https://engineering.fb.com/ https://engineering.fb.com/ Wait, Airbnb already has one? https://airbnb.io/ https://airbnb.io/ Genuinely confusing.
- echelon 2y ago> Why Distribution. The reason for this blog post is "recruit engineers". Not every engineer is going to visit blog.airbnb.com, but presumably a lot of them are already on Medium. They even close the article with, > We continue to solve interesting problems around LTV every day (and as more insights come up, we’ll keep sharing them on our blog). Can you see yourself making an impact here? If so, we encourage you to explore the open roles on our team. These blogs are always about recruiting.
- philipwhiuk 2y agoWhy would I pay for a paywall to read a job ad?
- merricksb 2y agoThere’s no paywall. It’s totally free to read. The popup is just a prompt to join/sign into Medium but you can close it.
