11 days agoI really enjoyed Cracked in its internet heyday. It was at times funny and others poignant. Somewhere I would have wanted to publish. Technically it still exists… but it is not the same.

What the hell were those doors for anyway? And who has a giant open pit. Also why the hell were they in an industrial site?

There were op eds, bad studies, lying companies etc. Here a few from quick internet search
A crappy study trying to gaslight people. This was all over. https://www.biv.com/news/real-estate/airbnbs-dont-cause-residential-rent-increases-conference-board-8273746
Air bnb makes the argument they aren’t responsible https://www.airbnb.ca/e/closerlook

We would occasionally get people who couldn’t take a hint and we’d tossed them out when there were a complaints.

I’m a pessimist. The price increase won’t hurt them unless they lose more than 33% of the user base. Which is a big number of people choosing to change a habit/lifestyle.
Even if they do lose that amount, they could walk back the 50% and wait a few months and “only” increase it by 20%. People will feel good that they owned the big corpo and the big corpo still manages to increase profit.
