While Airbnb once seemed a promising alternative to hotels, frustration and annoyance with the service feels like it’s steadily grown over the years. Hidden fees, hidden cameras, overbearing hosts, inconsiderate guests, and the whole housing crisis situation going on in the United States have been the tip of the iceberg for complaints surrounding the company.
A recent viral tweet prompted a concentrated internet shaming of Airbnb, with folks chiming in to share their own reasons for swearing off the service and going back to the tradition of just renting a freaking hotel room. And honestly, even though there’s definitely been some defense of these temporary home rentals mixed in, some serious points have been made.
