But positive news for other sites and direct bookings?

Interesting, not surprising. Stay in “unique, authentic places” on a platform “powered by local hosts”? Maybe sometimes.
Did you see...

Hopefully this may make people more aware and look into where they are staying a little more, an internet search maybe.

It is always against AirBnB.
Whilst we have never used the site for many years I really don't get the reason(s) why this one website is being aimed at. There are a whole lot more similar sites on the internet.

I have never used airbnb as a guest, but am listed as a host (Not that we get much out of it). As you say, they are all very similar and we can only hope that it pushes guests to look a little bit harder and find their own place rather than use these sites.
