Tim explains why Airbnb usage and revenue are collapsing post-pandemic, revisiting his own Airbnb ban dispute over a cleaning fee and accusing hosts of being creepy, controlling voyeurs.
- Tim calls Airbnb's collapse, noting it boomed during the pandemic as people sought to experience living in other locales.
- Revenues are plummeting nearly 50% in cities like Phoenix and Austin as the world reopened.
- Tim's Airbnb ban stemmed from hosts expecting him to clean after he paid over $400 in cleaning fees.
- Airbnb went from funky and cool to imposing strict rules: no guests after 10 p.m., no visitors, constant surveillance.
- Tim and his companions suspected hosts were entering the house when they weren't there and watched them on hidden cameras.
- Airbnb hosts are often voyeurs and potentially dangerous—rapists, pedophiles, murderers trying to ensnare families in their homes.
- No one will admit to Airbnb-ing their house; everyone Tim has spoken to who rents out their home is disturbed.
- Someone checked into an Airbnb with satanic imagery throughout, exemplifying the sick freaks who run these properties.
