The app for independent voices

that's vrbo. . . and yes, I stopped running an Airbnb to protest the ongoing "botification" of humans. As a host (and provider of the only "hard asset" Airbnb has, in the form of my home), I was dismayed when they blocked hosts from their first IPO in favor of billionaires, who got first dibs on the quick and easy money. I complained to no one, because Airbnb IS no one. It is run by robots. Even the humans who answer our distress calls when things go awry read from scripts and their replies are recorded. . . "for quality purposes?" No, for purposes of surveillance. This, too, is performed by robots. People are apparently going extinct at our own hand (see climate change, which is NOT a hoax but entirely manmade)—but it's just possible that dehumanization by manmade "intelligent" machines will get us first.
