It looked like they were gone completely this morning. I’m curious what others are seeing.
They aren’t entirely gone, but as of this morning, the categories only come up if I go to the main page and don’t put in a destination. As soon as I put a destination, I’m taken to a new page for that destination and the categories are not on the page.
To even see the categories at all I have to choose “Anywhere” for them to come up. It makes sense to me like this. If my goal is a cabin then I’m probably not prioritizing the location anyway. It seems now that they are just an option that have to be seeked-out as they should be.
More to report. So the only time I see the categories is if I leave Anywhere as the destination/don’t enter another destination. And if I choose Amazing Pools or Beach or whatever, I am given listings that fall under those categories that are relatively near me. All places that I would drive to in 1-4 hours.
The further I scroll down, the further that places are from me. I also have the option to choose “Map” and then I can move the map around and see listings anyhwere in the world that I move the map to that has an Amazing Pool or whatever I chose.
I wonder if they’ll keep this way, because it is really awesome the way that is working currently. I like the idea of picking a thing and then finding it somewhere on the map, or finding it in the next state over. But when I have a destination and enter it, I won’t be bothered by them becaue they aren’t there.
