This is something I personally wanted to do for a while now, considering they contribute to the housing crisis here in Spain (and around the world) amongst other socially irresponsible things.

Being a self employed small business owner, I've had to make some big decisions. This one was particularly scary to publicize because of the possible backlash. Furthermore, for some of our clients Airbnb-like properties just work better. But there ARE alternatives.

Joe Gebbia's support for T*ump and joining M*sk's team pushed me over the edge officially. How can I run a socially responsible travel company without a strong Airbnb stance?
