Summary

James Svetec highlights four changes on the Airbnb platform that are making it more difficult for hosts to thrive: cracking down on third-party apps, preventing off-platform communication, AI-driven review removals, and a business focus shift away from short-term rentals. To combat these, hosts should diversify to VRBO and Booking.com, prioritize positive reviews, and build direct booking relationships with guests while complying with platform rules to survive these changes.
