      I honestly don’t get the appeal of AirBNB. Like, what do they offer that a hotel doesn’t? I could see a use case where you’re in the middle of nowhere.

        For my dog to have a huge yard so he can play and go to the bathroom comfortably. Being honest, my dog is the only reason I would travel to begin so it’s crucial to have a nice space for him. Usually I look for smaller inside areas. Hotels don’t have that option.

    Yup another reason to not use Airbnb. Like others we have big group trips where we want a house. Sticking to other providers.

    You’re boycotting AirBnB because the cofounder became a Musk rat.

    I boycott AirBnB because like almost every startup out of silicon valley, it always sucked.

    We are not the same

    spoiler

    Haha get it? Muskrat

    Seriously though, you’re like a decade late to the party of illegal hotel chain ruining it for everybody. Out of all the stupid exploitive businesses, this should have been the easiest and straightforward to boycott, if it wasn’t already apparent the business owners aren’t some grifting scumbags.

        For me, what immediately alerted me was the rotation, position and size of the billboard. It should face the road, not the the camera. It should be smaller considering how close to the road it is. And it is way too low above the road. I don’t think you would even be allowed to have a billboard over a public road at all, let alone so low.

        After that, I looked closer and don’t really see how it is supported. Looks like it is floating. Maybe the one pole on the left could be connected although it does not look that way. Even if it was connected, the billboard would have too much leverage being only supported on one side.

    Not that I would dare to contradict the groupthink, but boycotting AirBnB will hurt the thousands of individuals who rent out part of their homes vastly more than it will hurt a guy who has enough money to be financially secure for thousands of lifetimes.
