This made a lot more sense with the original title: "Airbnb to Out 124 Hosts to New York Attorney General". The new title gives no indication at all as to what this is about.
- joelrunyon 12y agoAgreed - sometimes sticking to the post's title is a detriment to the reader.

- JohnTHaller 12y agoI've noticed a distinct pro-Airbnb slant to coverage on HN, so this is in keeping with that pattern.
- notlisted 12y agoI've noticed three times now that non-positive AirBnB posts disappear from the front page in very little time. How can one find out if an article was penalized?
- joelrunyon 12y agoWell YC has a big investment in them obviously. That said - I'm very pro-airbnb, but I still really need to know about this in case they decide they're going to operate like this in places outside NYC>
- JohnTHaller 12y agoConsidering that the majority of their business in NYC is illegal sublets and they're well aware of that fact but lie about it - and purposely mislead the public about it in their commercials and public statements - doesn't exactly paint them as a good player in locations outside NYC.
