> Only ship something you are proud of. meh. lots of companies are wildly successful with crappy products built by 9-5 teams. or startups with founders that are embarrassed by v0.1 or even v1.0.
A post-scale consumer company should only ship something they are highly proud of.
Why is AirBnb still a thing ? Do people like doing chores while on a vacation ?
I just stayed at two AirBnBs. I'm not sure what "doing chores" means. Sure I had to tidy up a bit when I left, but I would do that regardless because I'm a decent human being. Even when I stay at a hotel I wipe down the sink and strip the bed before I leave. In the meantime I had a condo next to the beach with a kitchen and beach toys in both locations for less than the hotel next door cost (which would not have a ki…
That's not normal.
They did kill a whole bunch of things... like the ability to rent at a reasonable rate and the ability to get a mortgage that doesn't lean heavily on the 'mort' part.
Everyone loves a boogieman. The reason rents are high are not because of short term rentals. They are high because of inflation and globalization.

Personally I find social interactions with hotel employees far more exhausting than straightening up a bit.
I love hotels. I am not sure why Airbnb ever took off, other than price for large groups. Hotels you show up, you know you have a room because you booked with Hilton or whatever. They clean up the room after you leave for the day. They bring you stuff, carry luggage it’s great.

Ironically, you cite some other boogeymen. They are high mostly because not enough housing is being built to meet demand.
As a superhost who use the Airbnb mobile app and website everyday, the experience is quite awful. Basic functions are not there, while the app already seems to be bloated. I'm wondering if any of the product manager there ever used their product.
The hosting app is terribl. To the point that there's an ecosystem of apps for managing properties, and most of the functions are just basic features that either exist or should on the Airbnb app.
The app is so bad, that I can't trust it with showing me who arrives today in the summary page, instead I go to the calendar.
And yes, I feel like they should make their PMs or designers use the hosting side of the app.
