Their customer service is HORRENDOUS. I Think it's also mostly because they outsource to countries were the people, even though they might mean well, have absolutely no idea what customer service means or have a very different concept of it (which is just to apologies without really practically solving the problem or making things right. Their making things right is just being polite and apologizing).

But AirBnB knows this. They make exorbitant amount of money yet offer shi**y service. Why hasn't another company taken over yet?

It's called hotels. If you want professional service, you go to the more highly regulated and standardized industry. In the past, Airbnb was cheaper. Now, the value proposition of ABNB is not so clear unless its on the high end or you're traveling with more than one couple.

Digital nomads don't want to share internet with everyone else, which is what happens in most hotels. Better to have your own router that no one else can use/stream from.
