Give me a break, Hosts have plenty of ways to lose money and take a huge risk renting their place out in the first place. People cancel last minute (if you have the nicer cancellation policies in place), leave beer bottles everywhere, and are sometimes just really unreasonable. Some guests are great though which makes it worth it!
We also have to deal with Airbnb issues, like when a guest leaves a review that isn't true and they leave it up anyway, even if the guest had no evidence, as one example.
Don't think that hosts always have it so easy or are all scammers like in this post.
