AirBnB’s whole “categories” feature irrationally upsets me.

It’s very rare that I book a vacation without already having a pretty good idea of where I’m going and what I’m looking for. The categories thing just feels like a barrier between me and getting my trip booked.

like

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Eh, not everyone travels the same. Sometimes I’m just looking for a nice place to stay outside of the city. And, that drives my decision more.

Also, you can still book based on location. It’s just another way to search listings.

like

You can book based on a specific city but in the app it still shows the listings in categories. I hate it so much.

Why?

The functionality is a marketing tactic. Its a part of the ad campaign. Or rather, they’re one and the same.

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence
