People are truly gone

I posted a public trip 3 weeks ago to a big city seeking people to hang out with when I am there. 

My trip is due for tomorrow. I was getting an average of 9 messages in a day from people offering to host and hangout.

Usually this number tends to keep going up as my dates approaches, and peak a night before my trip. 

However since this new design was rolled out 6 days ago I haven’t received a single message! People I was chatting with are no longer responsive as they have either abandoned the app or they are locked out by a paywall/poor UX.

People are truly gone.

Try to sort out travelers and it shows travelers in random order as opposed to the former chronological order. For God’s sake how am I supposed to find people traveling same dates as me?

Every time I open the app it onboards me all over again, asking me to fill 10 screens even if I open the app 20 times in a day!

How many people have the patience to deal with that?

During the covid mess of subscriptions I was one of those who stuck around as a frequent host and occasional surfer but this time I am truly done.

I can no longer connect to the app, the lack of regards for its users, its buggy UX or what it now represents.
