You're viewing a single thread.
Make sure you keep in mind that Conde Nast (the parent company of Wired) has subsidiary companies running articles like "35 Best Airbnbs Near New York City, From Cozy Cabins in the Catskills to Beachy Houses in the Hamptons"[1]. They likely have indirect or direct financial ties to AirBnB.
So this article that is seemingly trying to present an argument that this regulation isn't working because a black market has emerged, while giving more space in the article to small landlords and AirBnB's CEO and their defence than to critics of AirBnB, as well as mentioning hotel prices rising but not how AirBnB has caused rental prices to rise... should give you pause about the bias this article is trying to hide.

Conde Nast ruined Wired.
They also own reddit.
And Ars Techina...
They own a shit ton of media and I've never seen a positive improvement after they took something over.
None of these companies want to improve anything other than quarterly profits and will take whatever shitty action to get there
Yeah, the big tipoff that Conde owns a website is they post a lot of "great deals for ____!" posts.
Because they all use affiliate links.
And a lot less actual reviews of products because those have to be written. So you end up with a giant page full of links to a 100 products with maybe a sentence for each link.
News companies switched to affiliate links from ads. Even The New York Times made the switch. Google, Facebook, and Craigslist are their lunch.
Aired only once, then hidden in the extras of the DVD release btw.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
I figured as much. Without an open and easy to advertise platform to rent out spaces, people are going back to how it used to be...
It's an alarmist article. Much ado about nothing.
Great catch
