Tim recounts warning years ago that Airbnb's outrageous cleaning fees and host paranoia would tank the platform, and claims he was proven right as people abandon Airbnb for hotels.
- Tim explains why he warned Airbnb years ago about the $400 cleaning fee problem that would tank the service.
- Charging guests a cleaning fee to do work themselves while also making demands was unsustainable, he argues.
- Airbnb has lost massive market share; people saying they're staying in an Airbnb now sounds like admitting something's wrong.
- Tim predicted the collapse by watching how hosts got weird about their houses and increasingly strict with rules.
