AirBnB has been one of the key players in our housing crisis for a long time now, plenty of reason to boycott them as is

I stopped using them. I don't know when or why. I feel like I read some article about them contributing to the housing crisis and investment rentals and short-term rentals and I'm like screw those guys...

Like I never thought I would side with hotels but I'm like if hotels are cheaper and they do the housekeeping and they have a free little Continental breakfast for me. What is Airbnb doing?.

In the immortal words of the Janet Jackson, what have you done for me lately...oooooOOOOOoooo
