Users express concerns about the long-term usability of their Apple Watches due to the discontinuation of software support and app compatibility on older devices. The core issue is the limited lifespan of the software support, which leads to older devices becoming functionally limited as the OS evolves.
"App and OS compatibility. New OS won’t run well on old slower CPU and it is big burden to test OS on long list of old devices. This is why typically software manufacturers limit hardware age to perhaps 7-8 years."
"Apple will eventually make these unable to sync, even if they are functional. Can the ipad 1, even if it is slow, run Youtube? Yes it can, until Apple decided to not allow the app to work anymore, and you must use Safari to open it."
Users express the challenge of comparing features and performance of various coffee machines, especially when considering different brands and models.
"I have one of those machines and spent countless hours browsing r/espresso trying to find what the best band for your buck is and ended up going with that since it seemed the most convenient, which it is."
"If you want a machine that can crank out espresso and you only really drink lattes, there’s really no reason to get a breville imo, you could get a similar resulting taste in a latte from a “cheaper” machine."
Users discuss the negative impact of car-centric city planning in the US, highlighting the lack of walkable areas and the resulting dependence on cars for basic needs, which leads to increased consumption and environmental impact.
"It's called car dependency. You're essentially forced to own a car."
"Everything you need to access requires a car, even grocery shopping, so you try to shop less frequently, which results in buying too much, and throwing away food because it didn't get used when it should have been."
Users discuss the negative impact of impulse shopping and the difficulty in managing spending habits, leading to feelings of stress and regret.
"I stress shop and hate myself for it. I do ok for a week or two, then go nuts. Always getting rid of “things”."
"I have started adding things to my cart and then waiting MONTHS to decide if I actually want or need them."
Users express frustration with the difficulty of evaluating their consumption habits and identifying opportunities to reduce consumption. They want to understand the 'why' behind their purchases and find ways to make more informed decisions.
"I agree entirely. Questioning the **why** of consumption, as well as examining its consequences, is critical."
"I'm here for suggestions how to consume less/reuse stuff/etc."
Users express frustration with inflated prices, deceptive discounts, and the lack of reliable price tracking tools, particularly during promotional events like Prime Day. They highlight the need for transparency in pricing and the ability to easily compare prices across different retailers.
"I looked at the one item I’ve been eyeing for months and it only went down 12 cents since yesterday. (That is not even a 1% discount) Today it’s showing a regular price of $5 higher but “on sale” today."
"I’ve never found a good deal on Prime day. And now there’s apps so you can see some of the BS."
"She checked today and using keepa/ccc, they actually went UP $15 versus their stable price yesterday. No thanks."
"I remember watching a TikTok where they did price comparisons and the normal price v “discount” prime day price and proved that prime day is essentially a scam. They raise the price right before so the discount will seem more dramatic."
Users express frustration with the proliferation of gadgets marketed as time-savers, but often fail to deliver on their promise. They question the true time savings, the associated costs, and the potential for these gadgets to lead to a more cluttered home or wasted time on non-enjoyable tasks. There is a desire for solutions that genuinely improve quality of life without exacerbating existing problems.
"The question I think when I see something advertised as a timesaver... How much time is saved? What would I use that time for instead?"
"Most gadgets don’t really save time and they definitely clutter your house."
"But also...some of the "time savers" are time robbers. I like cooking. I enjoy the process. The end product is better and more curated to my tastes. It's less expensive than eating out. Yes. Door dash saves 'time' but not money and the time is saved is time I would have ENJOYED. It robbed me of something I liked."
Users are expressing frustration with Amazon's sales tactics, specifically highlighting instances where prices are inflated before being discounted, making the 'sale' price seem more appealing than it actually is. The discussion reveals a desire for tools that can accurately track price history and verify the legitimacy of discounts.
"I have had a set of Edifier speakers in my cart for a while now. They were $119. Now, today all of a sudden they are marked down from $150 to $113, claiming it’s 24% off. This is bullshit."
"Saw a chess set on there today "marked down" for $25, supposedly down from normal retail of $49.99. But, scrolling down the listing brought up a link for a newer, updated version of the same thing. Regular, non discounted retail on the upgraded set was only $29.99."
"Never use amazon without a price tracking app in your browser, the whole site is pretty much designed to try to separate you from as much money as possible."
"I can't comment a picture but I found something I wanted and Amazon's own price tool told me their 50% off deal was a dollar more expensive than it had been listed for for the last 90 days ($24 vs $23)."
The discussion revolves around the challenges of software release cycles, CI/CD pipelines, and branching strategies in mid-sized companies with monolithic and legacy code. Users express frustrations with time-consuming and complex release processes, particularly those involving daily releases, multiple review stages, and manual steps.
"The release process has been tedious lately"
"I find myself getting caught up in testing/deployment phases more than I’d like."
"But lately the testing phases have been a pain."
Users are frustrated with the limited selection of seasonal items available in the Nook's Cranny shop, specifically the summer items, leading to a desire for more variety and customization options. The discussion centers around the repetitive nature of the shop's offerings and the lack of new items to purchase.
"Right!? And for a whole season just two things??"
"I want new cool stuff :("
"Agreed, like if I buy both of the items then different ones start showing up… like Redd’s"
"In my opinion I wish that it was expanded upon as a feature meaning there were more items that could appear there."
"Too bad there's only 2 summer items though, I feel like there should be more options (beach decoration can be so broad!)"
Users express frustration with the lack of in-game tracking for the number of balloons shot down in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, making it difficult to gauge progress towards unlocking the golden slingshot. This is seen as a barrier to achieving the goal.
"It's the Nook Mile Achievement "Raining Treasure" if I recall correctly. It tells you there for up to 300 balloons which is the number you need for the Gold Balloon."
"Is there a way o see how may balloons you’ve hit so far? I’d love to know how far away from 300 I am"
Users express frustration with the prevalence of self-promotion in the AndroidGaming sub, and discuss the challenges small developers face in marketing their games without dedicated platforms or resources.
"They already lose ~50% to fees/cuts/taxes and cannot charge AAA price or feature a catalog of 100 colorful hats for only 9 usd per piece as a digital asset - they simply cant afford the marketing needed nowadays."
"There are no dedicated subs for this (except one's own empty-ass sub), I thought the self-promo rules were universal."
"Without spending money, reddit is pretty much the only effective place to present your game to people."
"Making a nice game was enough 13 years ago .. nowadays you somehow need to worry to get even 10 downloads .."
Players are frustrated by the lack of a coordinate display or similar feature on the mobile version of Subnautica, making it harder to find specific locations compared to the PC version where coordinates are available. This leads to increased search times and difficulty following guides that rely on coordinates.
"Dumb question, is there a way to pull up coordinates on mobile like on PC? I've beaten it enough times where sometimes I just want to find the thing I need without searching for an hour, and all guides just... tell you coordinates and tell you good luck."
"It's not currently possible on mobile device."
Users express frustration about not knowing where to find specific resources and how to craft necessary items, hindering their progress in the game.
"I don't understand where to find resources to craft this first item the battery."
"Use knife and cut something coral color orange"
Users express dissatisfaction with touch controls in mobile ports of games originally designed for PC or consoles, finding them clunky or difficult to use.
"Id definitely say terraria too as it's one of my favourite games ever, but the controls on mobile suck and also after playing with mods on pc, it's hard to go back to modless on console and mobile."
"I don't like how the dragging controls work on mobile for STS, playing on PC is so much better"
"How do you play Terraria on a touchscreen without losing your mind? I have so much trouble getting used to touch controls for games like this."
Users are experiencing frustration due to the game's lack of compatibility with their devices, specifically mentioning unsupported GPU types. Users are also disappointed that the game does not support DeX with proper keyboard/mouse support.
"The game window can be resized or it can run fullscreen but you need to restart the app to change resolution, there seems to be a custom mouse pointer implemented during load, however when the menu loads the mouse gets locked within the window and maintains mouse focus even when the window focus is on another app. Keyboard controls are not implemented/allowed."
"Can anyone share me the device Requirements its teeling not compatible Even though i have a good device."
"They don't support adreno 619 630, 710. And mali g-57 (And many other chips but those are the most common in mid-low end phones)"
Users express frustration with the complexity and difficulty of debugging Next.js applications, citing issues with server-client component interactions and the framework's approach to RPC and routing, leading to increased development time and potential deployment problems.
"The complexity Next introduces has not paid off after multiple years of building out our business app. Everything has become more complected, react antipatterns proliferate because of the way rendering is split, and debugging is dramatically more difficult."
"it can also be a massive pain in the ass and theres a steep learning curve to getting server and client component interleaving just right without making client wrappers for everything."
"Our app breaks on every deploy because server action identities change and will break any http request from the browser."
Users are discussing the challenges of maintaining a consistent user experience (UX), code standards, and dependency versions when developing sub-apps independently within a larger application. This includes issues like varying UX, inconsistent code styles, and dependency conflicts, which can lead to maintainability problems and security vulnerabilities.
"No consistent code standards, and no way to easily enforce them since each module was in a different repository."
"Modules with wildly different UX."
Users are discussing various approaches to synchronizing API types between backend and frontend, highlighting challenges related to maintaining type safety, code generation, and cross-language compatibility.
"E2E client code generation, OpenAPI specs generated from backend service code and openapi-generator w custom templates to go from specs to TS code. The sync happens in CI, you touch the service code -> client code is rewritten."
"We use a utility I wrote that turns laravel form requests into TS types matched with the names of corresponding routes. We can then enforce the types of form submissions based on what the backend expects"
"After six months we hit pain when iOS needed Swift stubs and security wanted versioned docs. OpenAPI Generator filled the docs gap, GraphQL Codegen handled fragments, while [APIWrapper.ai](http://APIWrapper.ai) quietly kept both server and client types aligned without extra glue. We now mix tRPC for internal calls and OpenAPI for public endpoints. tRPC still wins internally, just not when cross-language consumers show up."
"The frontend tream is ahead of the backend team and specify its API using https://typespec.io/ , that makes writing api actually envoyable because writing json or yaml is horrible, and really looks like typescript. Then the client and react query queries and mutations, zod schema, types are generated with https://github.com/hey-api/openapi-ts"
"If I went a step further and wrapped the Express endpoint creation we could also validate the params."
The post discusses the need to choose a tech stack that will appeal to potential corporate buyers. The primary concern is that the current tech stack (Vue) might deter buyers who prefer React, hence the consideration of a React-based rewrite. This highlights the pain of potentially losing out on a sale due to tech stack choices.
"Potential buyers tell us the React dev pool is much larger, or at least that's what they believe which is what matters in this situation."
"One of our priorities is building a tech stack that will be attractive - or at least not repellant - to potential corporate buyers of our business."
Users express concerns about the closed-source nature of the VSCode extension and potential risks of sending private code to external servers. This highlights a pain point related to the lack of transparency and trust in the extension, especially when dealing with sensitive code.
"Is the ext actually closed source?"
"But I dont see a git repo, how would I know some private code I might be working on are not being sent to somewhere?"
The user expresses frustration with the increasing complexity of modern frontend frameworks like React, Next.js, and Remix, particularly in contrast to the simplicity of jQuery and backend-driven approaches. They find themselves overwhelmed by concepts like Virtual DOMs, client-side state management, and server components, which introduce complexity without necessarily solving their immediate needs.
"But so far, every framework I explore feels like it’s solving problems I didn’t have and in the process, it’s introducing complexity I *don’t* want."
"All I want is a simple, modern, fullstack JS (or TS) framework that respects that simplicity where I know what’s going on, where I don’t need to learn 10 layers of abstraction just to build a CRUD app."
Users discussing challenges with extracting and manipulating individual graphical elements (shapes, paths, text) from rendered PDFs within a React application, highlighting the limitations of the canvas rendering approach and the need for a solution that preserves vector information.
"I’ve been struggling with trying to figure out how to get individual graphics elements out of an imported PDF without diving into recursion hell navigating the graphics operators."
"once a PDF is rendered to the canvas, all the vector information is flattened into pixels, and you lose access to individual elements like shapes or paths."
Users express frustration with limitations in existing UI libraries, leading to time-consuming workarounds or building custom components from scratch to achieve desired designs.
"For instance, I recently created a custom select box that combines both language and country selection. Essentially, it was a multi-select inside another multi-select. Handling when to open or close each part (e.g., on outside clicks) needed tailored logic. Evaluating libraries to handle this would've taken more time than just building it myself."
"The moment you get a UX team and you need to work around the nuances of a component library you are in trouble and it might make sense to build from scratch."
"But almost always I hit a limitation in the library that requires so many tweaks and hacks that I usually just quit and use my own UI lib instead."
Users express frustration with the repetitive nature of jokes and memes on the r/AnarchyChess subreddit. The discussion revolves around the overuse of specific jokes (e.g., "en passant", "shove a bishop up your butt") and the staleness of the memes, which diminish the enjoyment of the community.
"I'm just tired of the overused jokes, the stale memes, and the toxic community."
"The memes on Anarchychess are stale. The same memes get posted over and over again."
"The jokes on Anarchychess are overused. The same jokes get posted over and over again."
Users are expressing frustration with moderators' actions, including bans, deletions of posts, and perceived bias, along with a lack of a fair appeal process.
"'We might have been completely wrong in banning you in the first place, but you aren't actively sucking up to us, so obviously we made the right call.'"
"I was banned recently by a mod because they didn’t understand my comment and thought I was saying the opposite of what I was saying, then they kept me banned because in my appeal message I was “hostile”. Yeah you can’t read, asshole, you banned me, I’m not going to thank you for that. Reddit mods are illiterate angry chodes with god complexes."
Users express frustration with the repetitive nature of jokes, memes, and overall content on the Anarchychess subreddit, leading to a feeling of staleness and lack of enjoyment. This impacts the community's overall experience and user engagement.
"The memes on Anarchychess are stale. The same memes get posted over and over again. It's just not funny anymore."
"The jokes on Anarchychess are overused. The same jokes get posted over and over again. It's just not funny anymore."
"The jokes are overused, the memes are stale, and the community is toxic."
Users are expressing confusion and difficulty understanding the nature of a controversy happening within the r/trans subreddit. They are asking for explanations and summaries of the situation.
"what in the fuck did i miss what happened over there"
"Can someone enlighten me, what is happening over there? I keep seeing posts about this."
"Ima need some context, all I know is that r/trans denies the existence of femboys and instead says they are fetishizing trans people by existing."
Users are discussing the financial and practical implications of fulfilling a promise made on Reddit, specifically the cost of printing a large number of photos based on the number of upvotes a post receives. This highlights the challenges of translating online engagement into real-world tasks and tracking associated expenses.
"Bro the amount of money in ink this is going to cost 😭😭😭🙏"
"One 1in x 1in color photo uses about 0.01ml of color ink 0.01ml of color ink costs about 2 and a half cents. This means that you will spend upwards of $300 on this project"
"Fuck"
"Rip my wallet"
Users are frustrated by the frequent unavailability of statiegeld (deposit) return machines at supermarkets, leading to inconvenience and inability to redeem deposits. They also discuss the lack of consistent alternative solutions like manual returns at the cashier or alternative drop-off points.
"In een straal van 500 meter zitten alle grote supermarkten (AH, Dirk, Lidl, Vomar) en verdorie elke keer, allemaal het apparaat defect (of wordt 'vervangen', wat nog nooit is gebeurd)."
"Kan die shit nergens inleveren. Dapperbuurt Albert Heijn, automaat ‘kapot’. Dapperbuurt Lidl, automaat ‘kapot’. Oostpoort Albert Heijn, automaat ‘kapot’. Oostpoort Dekamarkt, automaat werkt maar weigert vervolgens alle flessen, zoals een 1L plastic fles van Coca-cola en lege flesjes Hertog Jan bier."
Users express frustration with the time wasted waiting for players to join lobbies and the frequent delays caused by host settings adjustments and player bans in online games like Among Us.
"I've seen the host ban someone for saying start. The lobby was full for three minutes already."
"Hosts waste SO MUCH time."
"There are people out there who have zero patience, and then there’s the “expert” lobbies with hosts that won’t start a game for more than 5 minutes."
"Like i get it, its annoying, but it wastes so much time waiting for the lobby to refill than just playing the game."
Users are frustrated by the presence of non-English speakers in English-speaking online game lobbies. This leads to communication issues and disrupts gameplay. Users express a desire for better language filtering options or enforcement within games.
"SERIOUSLY THOUGH. THERE IS LITERALLY A FILTER FOR WHAT LANGUAGE YOU WANT TO SPEAK USE IT!"
"Literally every game I’ve played has people speaking Russian for no reason."
"Also if u tell them to speak english, they say speak "our language""
Users express frustration and confusion regarding the enforceability of custom rules set by hosts in online multiplayer games, particularly rules against quitting after death. The discussion revolves around the lack of practical mechanisms to prevent rule-breaking and the perceived absurdity of certain restrictions.
"But I'm curious, exactly how would this host be able to "enforce" that particular rule? If someone leaves when they die you can't ban them, so what's the deterrent?"
"How do they plan to punish me for *leaving*"
"No quit on death loll, how is bro meant to stop u from rejoining, unless you or ur assistant keeps track of player codes via the recently played, chances are that player will just change names and u won’t notic s"
"How does bro intend to enforce "no quit on death"? 💀"
Users express frustration related to the original poster's (OP) difficulty understanding and accepting cultural norms regarding nudity and the potential for a cultural misunderstanding that led to an accusation of incest.
"OP just sounds porn brained and like he'd make his wife and daughters cover up because *insert male relative* is coming over."
"I'm American and Americans get so weird about nudity."
Users express the need for a software solution to help navigate and organize the complexities of family dynamics, including communication, shared calendars, and relationship management, especially when dealing with step-families and extended family members.
"I wish there was an app that could tell me what machines are similar between different gym chains"
Users discuss the complexities and variations in surrogacy laws across different locations (states and countries). They express the difficulty in navigating these regulations and finding reliable information.
"And because it’s only a choice to abide by the standard in states where there aren’t legal requirements, there will always be exceptions to be found."
"I’m not sure about everywhere, but in the US that’s not explicitly true. While some states do have laws requiring this, for many states it’s only a “standard” enforced by most clinics and surrogacy agencies."
Users express frustration at the original poster deleting their post and editing the content, making it difficult to understand the context and intent of the original discussion. They mention the inability to use Unreddit or view the original content.
"In case this story gets deleted/removed:"
"I love the edit, OOP seems very mature"
"I **NEEEEEED** to know OOPs original username. I want to use unreddit so bad."
Users express the frustration of dealing with family members who have caused trauma and are now seeking forgiveness without understanding the need for genuine effort and acknowledging past actions.
"He didn't like that there was still lingering hurt and mistrust based on his prior behavior, and I had to shout at him that 1 year of good behavior does not override 25 of bad."
"However, the hardest thing for him to grasp was that him not being an ass now does not magically erase the decades that he was."
"I remember this one from when it was posted last year and I was so pissed at OOP. He didn’t even try to earn her forgiveness. Just assumed it was all good because he found good but made no attempts to right all he’s done wrong."
A user expresses frustration with their partner's communication style, highlighting a pattern of negativity, constant corrections, and a lack of emotional support. This leads to arguments and feelings of being devalued. The user seeks ways to address these communication issues and improve the relationship. The discussion reveals the desire for a way to identify and understand these behaviors.
"Examine how you respond to your wife. How often do you find yourself saying, “that’s a good ideas honey” vs, “yeah, but…”??"
"You two need to sit down and have a serious conversation about this communication pattern and how it can be healed."
The original poster expresses frustration with 'female mating behavior' and a perceived lack of willingness from women to invest in a man's potential before he has achieved success. The subsequent discussion highlights the user's lack of self-motivation and the expectation of a partner to provide emotional and practical support to enable them to reach their goals.
"I’m guessing he probably doesn’t think it’s quite as valid for a woman to use a man as a “shortcut” for financial security, though. That’s probably something he thinks we should bring back public hanging to punish."
"I find it difficult to do the journey on my own. If a few women had invested in me I'm sure I would have been a lawyer or similar by now."
"I want someone to appreciate my current poor state, and thus be worthy of having me at my best, because we built it together."
The discussion revolves around a user's difficulty in understanding and accommodating their partner's sexual needs and preferences. The partner clearly communicated what they needed to feel aroused, but the user disregarded this, leading to frustration and a breakdown in communication.
"She literally told him what she needed in order to have PIV sex and he refused to it because it mildly inconvenienced him."
"States exactly what she needs, crystal clear."
"She told him what she wanted and he refused to listen."
"Women: I want this Men: That's not what *I* want, so I must have misunderstood her. Why don't women ever just say what they mean??"
Users express frustration and suspicion about the quality and potential AI generation of the news article being discussed. They struggle to determine the validity and accuracy of the information, particularly due to repetitive phrasing and unclear details.
"Was this article written by a 12 year old? ... Naw this definitely AI. A 12 year old could definitely do way better than this bullshit."
"The story just keeps repeating itself. She moved to Dubai, got arrested, her family says she never did drugs. Then it says the same thing over in the next paragraph."
Users express frustration and concern over the prevalence of online hate speech, harassment, and the lack of accountability for such behavior on platforms like Reddit and other social media. This includes the existence of subreddits dedicated to trashing victims of crimes and the perceived inaction of platforms in addressing these issues.
"Wait, There. Is. A. Sub. Dedicated. To. Trashing. A. Murdered. Woman."
"Would be a shame if we had to use our real information before commenting online..accountability is lacking in 2025"
"I genuinely don’t understand the vitriol towards her."
"People’s capacity for casual cruelty on the Internet is really disappointing sometimes."
"People are terrible. I’ve been decided not to have back and forth with people on here, it’s an even worse cesspool on other social media spaces."
"These people are just unwell."
"People like this don't deserve anonymity."
"I’m surprised Reddit lets that happen?"
The discussion revolves around the challenges faced by hosts on platforms like Airbnb in dealing with negative reviews that they deem unfair or based on issues clearly stated in the listing description. The primary frustration is the lack of recourse to contest or remove such reviews, leading to a drop in ratings that affects visibility and bookings.
"Still, we've just received two reviews that really hit us hard – not just emotionally, but also in terms of our rating on the platform."
"Yet they’ve noticeably lowered our Airbnb rating."
"And as many of you know, there seems to be no real way to contest or remove reviews unless they blatantly violate Airbnb’s guidelines."
Users are frustrated by inaccurate or misleading amenity descriptions in Airbnb listings, particularly regarding features like hot tubs, leading to unmet expectations and disappointment. The discussion highlights the impact of these inaccuracies on guest experiences and the potential need for clearer definitions or verification processes.
"We just returned from an AirBnb stay on Long Island. Everything was fine, but I personally feel like the listing was a bit misleading."
"I would absolutely put this in your review. I would be pissed if this was me. I book Airbnb’s for the hot tubs as well."
"Ultimately, the "private hot tub" turned out to be a jetted bath tub in the bathroom."
Users are expressing frustrations with Airbnb's review system, particularly the ability of hosts to have negative reviews removed and the platform's handling of disputes. The main issue involves a guest being falsely accused of damage, a negative review being removed, and the guest being charged without sufficient evidence.
"Sounds like retaliation. What I have noticed, hosts are insanely greedy."
"So yea, super host I.E high revenue Airbnb host , can get any review removed."
"How the hell did a host manage to get a guest review removed?"
"If they can have my review removed, whose to say anybody is seeing all the honest reviews."
"They sided with the host, saying his word and photos were enough."
"They deleted my honest review of the listing."
"And now they're threatening to charge my credit card if I don't pay."
The user experienced a host making threats and demanding entry, leading to an unsafe feeling and an emergency evacuation. The user then faced significant difficulty in getting a refund from Airbnb, highlighting issues with support responsiveness, consistency, and empowerment to resolve the situation.
"This was such an unsafe situation and a threat to my safety as a solo female, I couldn't wait to see until 10am, how many people she brings along and what she'll try to do in person, if she has the courage to write these threats in the airbnb chat."
"Total 8 TIMES she wrote threats that she will make sure to see me in person and enter the property."
"And yes, the same thing was with me. The support suggested and was positive until I exited the property, then they changed the narrative and refused the refund."
"Total damages = $1,967.84 of unspent nights + $849 of the hotel + had to throw away all refrigerated groceries (ice cream, yogurt, milk, butter, frozen pizza, cheese, eggs) ~$150 + $7 midnight uber + $120 to go to a friend's place in Hamilton (and not even adding the uber to the next new place)"
"Next morning, I cancelled the reservation. I asked them refund for the unspent nights, as I booked for the month, but stayed only 7 nights. They sent me $23 as 30% compensation for the impacted night."
"I packed my bags, along with calls with support who were completely useless."
Users express frustration with the lack of readily available information to assess the safety and reliability of Airbnb hosts and listings, particularly for solo female travelers. This includes the inability to easily filter for hosts with a proven track record of prioritizing guest safety and responding to safety concerns.
"That host needs to be banned and their listing removed-even if AB&B gave you a full refund- you booked on the info you were given then it turning into a whole different arrangement is not ok-I’d leave a one star review also and say the host had predatory men staying their and you had to leave for safety concerns and that the host never responded when you reached out to them."
"I’m a host but also travel solo (I’m female) and specifically look for rooms or spaces that have only a female host that understand and respect the safety of other traveling females."
Users express frustration with Airbnb's dispute resolution process, highlighting the difficulty in providing and verifying evidence (like photos, messages) to support claims, and the lack of consistent outcomes in cases of host-guest disputes.
"after Airbnb denied that her review was retaliatory, I have zero faith."
"I can't believe Airbnb won't remove her review and it makes me worry that they'll believe that we broke her fridge."
"Airbnb should be able to see it for what it is."
Users express frustration with Airbnb's customer support and their inability to remove or mediate false reviews, even when provided with evidence of inaccuracies. This leads to reputational damage for guests and a perceived lack of accountability for hosts.
"According to their policy, anything harmful, fraudulent and misleading will be removed. And Airbnb is totally willing to go against their own policy by giving us dead ends and an untrained AI to deal with."
"I’m going through something similar and Airbnb Support straight up told me “Airbnb doesn't mediate whether a review is factually true or not, and we are not in a position to verify the details of every experience shared”."
"I have screenshots showing that the host is lying in their review and it doesn’t seem to matter at all to Airbnb. I’m very disappointed."
