Can't scroll past an air bnb post without stopping in to say fuck air bnb for its role in the housing crisis. It should be banned unless it's owner occupied.

I'm just here to say fuck air bnb. Ban that shit for it's contribution to the housing crisis.

Guys, I'm starting to think the problem is me...

This isn't even punitive, but just the cost of doing business. Protip, if the fine wouldn't stop you from making the same business decision again, it's not really a fine.

I'm going to go ahead and say this is all by design.

I just hope this is the start of an internet renaissance with less corporate control.

I don't want corporate social media full stop. As soon as there is a profit motive things will always slowly decay.

I just hope it's viable to survive on grants/donors a la Wikipedia. Add some "awards" like on reddit, and that should help as well.

All the strikes these days honestly just make me happy. Love seeing workers standing up for themselves.

I mean it does suck they need to strike at all...

Is this not effectively a link aggregation site? Why do you care if the links are bespoke human entered data? People keep bitching about this and it makes no sense to me at all

Thanks for your efforts!

This. I want more strikes. I'm tired of everything going to shit and the masses sit back and do nothing. I've gone to a few protests recently, and honestly it's cheap therapy for me. Feels nice to actually DO something.

I would hope she has some sort of legal recourse here, because fuck everything about that.

This speaks to how bad Google has gotten IMO - I do it too.

I mean it seems so obvious in retrospect I suppose. I hope we're looking a the start of a real renascence for the internet, away from corporate overlords.

Do they not have a vacant home tax? I know Vancouver, Toronto and Ottawa do. It just makes sense

Yeah only way I see it working is if it's more of a peer to peer / torrenting concept. As in while you use it, you are "seeding" other videos / content as well.

Way too little, WAY too late.

Plus if it's like any of their other demand side policy tweaks (first time home buyers savings account...), it will only make things worse

In fact has there ever been a single Liberal policy that made housing more affordable? Over how many years?

Heck yeah!

What, you're just going to judge them based on their decades of previous behaviour?!

Oh that's what those are!
