I agree this is a big part of the issue. It shifted from using homes that people like themselves but had surplus time/days, to a bunch of “business” people hustling and trying to spend as little as possible to make as much money as possible with all the tricks and annoyances that comes with. The platform was kind of taken over by bad actors

Kinda what happened to the Internet. 

And everything else online. 

eBay was cool. 

Amazon was cool. 

Craigslist probably was too, but I’m in Europe so have never tried it. 

Nowadays you spend all your energy on not being scammed. Because some people found it’s better to make money by faking it then making it. 

Everyone wants a piece of the action and the end result is that there’s no action left because the supply is much greater than the demand. 

Either it will settle over time, or all the bad actors end up killing the platform.
