    Not that I would dare to contradict the groupthink, but boycotting AirBnB will hurt the thousands of individuals who rent out part of their homes vastly more than it will hurt a guy who has enough money to be financially secure for thousands of lifetimes.

    Yup another reason to not use Airbnb. Like others we have big group trips where we want a house. Sticking to other providers.

    You’re boycotting AirBnB because the cofounder became a Musk rat.

    I boycott AirBnB because like almost every startup out of silicon valley, it always sucked.

    We are not the same

    spoiler

    Haha get it? Muskrat

    Seriously though, you’re like a decade late to the party of illegal hotel chain ruining it for everybody. Out of all the stupid exploitive businesses, this should have been the easiest and straightforward to boycott, if it wasn’t already apparent the business owners aren’t some grifting scumbags.
