OK. So, you see the Airbnb business model as this: Hosts are wholesalers, Airbnb is the retailer, and Guests are the Customer. Booking is the product (like a tangible item – like a pair of shoes). I think Airbnb does see it like that? And you do as well?
Are you a Host on Airbnb?
How about this, stay at home at stop whining.

Airbnb is a booking and payment platform. I have the product and I’m responsible for it. If I don’t want to abide by Airbnb policies (which are arbitrary and capricious) no one is forcing me to use their platform.
Yes I’m a host. I’ve been hosting a room in my home for 6 years, over 800 stays and almost 600 reviews. But I’m the original “one host, one home,” room at my house (but no airmattress) style. I don’t live in a tourist area so I host a lot of travellers, people moving, people visiting family that sort of thing. Lots of road trippers passing through so I will be affected by the coming recession.
