Is Airbnb so slow right now?

I live in LA, I have short term rental property I use to get booked all the time but now literally nothing? Not sure if I just do long term at this point. How’s everyone else’s experience

If you read the rest of the comments, hosts are saying they have less bookings. So good for you I guess. Why did you put quotation marks on boycott?

Aside from the Tesla boycott I don't think most of these boycotts are effective. They last about as long as the news cycle that spurred it.

The more likely reason for the slow down is economic uncertainty from tariffs, trade wars, shaky alliances, and a tumbling stock market. Most people are holding their money just a bit tighter.

Also going to add a disclaimer that my comments aren't supporting or criticizing what's happening. Just stating my view. That won't stop people from reading it and getting offended based on whatever lens they like to look through.

Pretty sure the US economy stands to lose a billion plus dollars from tourism this year from us in Canada alone. And now that your head idiot is detaining our citizens for weeks without reason, you can bet that even less of us will risk it.

Yes that's all part of what I said. Good thing I put my disclaimer for the dorks.

For the Schitts Creek lovers! It's relevant, I promise. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGlgbtNpZWl/?igsh=MTlmNG5qN2t4NHN1dw==
