- For a decade, I thought Airbnb would protect us if something went wrong. That was until the life of my son was in play and they sided with the host. If you trust @Airbnb, don't learn the hard way like I did. Here's my story:
- I made this video using AI. It crossed 1M views & 20k subs in 3 weeks: - with only one video - on a brand new YouTube channel - 100% organically (0 external promotion) Making this channel the first in history to achieve this. Here's how.
- Replying to @wono_strategyTL;DR - A narcotic pill that could have killed my son was found where he sleeps - The host lied (with proofs) - Airbnb confirmed it was a safety issue - When I needed their help they ghosted me mid-crisis - Threatened to ban me when I pointed out their contradictions -
- Replying to @wono_strategyLong story short, I got on the phone with Airbnb to provide my side of the story and learned that she had filed a complaint against me. So to cover myself and prove the pill is real, I went to a local pharmacy to identify it and then reported it to the police (it's a narcotic).
- Replying to @wono_strategyOn my side: - I paid twice (initial booking + second booking upfront) from my pocket - I packed luggage twice in 5 days with a pregnant wife - The host could reverse the situation, blatantly lie with no repercussions and get paid full

- Replying to @wono_strategyMy son has been sleeping and playing around this potential killer for 3 days already. In this situation, any parent would have helplessly witnessed their child die from a cardiac arrest in front of them without having any clue about what's happening.

After all, what's the difference between a house you rent and a street full of strangers? If anything lethal ends up in your
- Replying to @wono_strategyBut thankfully, I'm the one who found it. First the panties, then the ant, now a deadly narcotic. That's enough. Are there more opioid pills in the apartment? What's next? I'm not gambling the life of my son figuring this out.
- Replying to @wono_strategyMe: *This* is your policy. Do you confirm your position? Airbnb: *dodges the question*
- Replying to @wono_strategyThe next day, after cooking we discovered an ant infestation in the kitchen. Pretty annoying but this time, I didn't complain. There's quite a bit of vegetation around, we were having a good time so, let's focus on what's important: family time. We handled it ourselves.
