Explaining the decline of Airbnb from @theoparisi__

The creator explains why he believes Airbnb's service has declined significantly.

He introduces the concept of "enshittification," argues that professionalization and corporate greed have replaced authentic hosting with soulless rentals, and concludes that traditional hotels are now often a better option.
