It's rather sad that even the author concluded that they would continue to use Airbnb in the future, and there are no real consequences for the company. The profit from scammers as much as from legitimate users, so like Google (blogspam) or Amazon (fakes) or Etsy (drop shipping), they don't really care about them.
I've limited my exposure to these companies over the last years. But this is a path with a lot of friction, and unlikely to be chosen by most users, so until politicians are pressured enough into doing something, I believe that the scammers will continue to prosper.
