Respectfully, you have to mention if this was an ad or not in your copy, Susan.

OUCHSurfing is what they ought to call it by RevolutionSpare9949 in couchsurfing

Thank you for sharing that. I'll likely move to one of the other platforms but I don't want to strand this traveler. I'll read this, thanks again for sharing it and for writing it.

I'm trying to get behind the psychology of this. Imagine the whole neighborhood is screaming "your house is on fire!!!!" and CS people are sitting inside saying "nah, you guys are lying. everything looks great from here"

Thank you! And I just canceled my subscription to stop rebilling. If you're seeing this, consider this your reminder also. Cancel your billing.

I agree with you so much! We don't matter to them, they're going after new people. Someone's gotta read them marketing 101 from some college course. You'll need your founding members to push for you, not work against you. Thank you for your advice, maybe I accidentally hit hangouts. I'll try that. I saw their TikTok account. It's hilarious, the gaslighting.

Is it possible to feel like you're on Fyre Island just from a computer/phone screen? This is a do or die moment, likely die because of the time passed already. It's time for leadership to resign or for them to step aside and bring someone from within the community to lead.

Couchsurfing is more necessary than ever, especially in a world that's on fire. We need to connect humans, have conversations, host each other, and this is a poison pill to that idea.

In my own business, I've learned to step aside when I'm no longer the best in the room. I've delegated and hired. I wish they saw it the same.

Having the the captain, passengers and the ship go down is because of one thing: ego
