Airbnb's latest attempt to appease hosts and customers amid a tumultuous year was met with a searing backlash on social media.
The online vacation rental marketplace, headquartered in San Francisco, initiated a feature this week offering customers the chance to donate money and "kindness cards" to hosts.
"Today we're introducing a new way to connect with your favorite hosts. Now you can create personalized kindness cards that make it easy to send a message of appreciation or encouragement, with the option to add a contribution. We hope these cards will make hosts smile, and bring a little joy your way," a message from the company to customers read.
"Airbnb has lost its f---ing head, why would I donate to my host? I can't even afford one house." Twitter user olenskae fumed.

Then head to your relevant realestate site and see what are the going rents. You may have the surprise to be able to renegotiate your rent.
(do you expect the landlord to offer you a rent reduction from the goodness of his heart, without asking him to?)
