Summary

Sean Rakidzich discusses Airbnb's simplified pricing update and how the 15.5% fee increase affects hosts. He shares that simplified pricing doesn't give hosts a cost or algorithm advantage, but also emphasizes the fee increase is actually 12.5% and not 15.5% and to be careful not to overinflate rates by setting fees too high in your channel manager to compensate.
