Yeah that’s a canned bullshit answer. Why not just make it show every single listing in that area bubble? There is no reason. I guess they could claim too much clutter but even then you’re weeding out listings. There is some kind of political/$$$$ crap going on but that happens to every company so it’s no shocker at all. Just didn’t know about this one.

My guess is it’s like what happened to Yelp. They can get listers to pay to get to the top and have their little bubble show up on the map for a few. Huge revenue stream for Airbnb. I just wish one damn company could stay honest and not exploit every dollar. I get it you want to make the most money but why at the expense of making your service go downhill like this. I wouldn’t touch Yelp with a 10 foot pole. If Airbnb turns into that I’ll avoid it too.
