UGH I LOVE TUMBLR. like sorry i dunno- just having curated fandom spaces in general makes me so happy

like obviously we the people who are using this space makes the space how we want

Airbnb Plus program is changing. Namely they're now charging owners a 6% fee (instead of the usual 3% fee) to join.

So I'm sure it's entirely coincidental that I just got a message that one of my plus listings is being removed from the program due to " several reports of significant issues". Here were the issues they cited--one guest had a wifi issue (in August), a knob broke off a stove (which is fairly new, about 6 months old) in July, and one guest said maybe she might have smelled mildew in the bathroom (no specific date given). But they said I can re-apply for plus again, obviously it would be under the new 6% fee program.

My guess is they're going to find any reason they can to get rid of all the existing plus listings to force them to sign up at the 6% fee. Keep in mind these weren't issues guests reported, but simply things they told me in our message threads, so they're clearly combing over all your messages to try to find problems to use as excuses to kick people out of plus so they have to re-join.

Personally I'm going to tell all my other plus listing guests to text me with any issues for a faster response otherwise I'm guessing any problem no matter how small will be used as excuses for removing the listing from plus.
