Did you expect nuance from the "Kaggle Grandmaster" who's too thick to secure valuables in a not-quite-hotel? Between travelling to another state to Friendsgiving during the pandemic, and having zero awareness that his destination city's economy's been shattered by said pandemic, then getting jacked by locals... maybe he should grow some awareness.

A bit acrid but maybe on point. I feel what bothers me the most is that I related to the post until the very end. What frustrates me is that I, too, operate under a guise of assumptions that might not be mandated: there is room for nefarious actors in the AirBnb system, up to and including hosts who control the wifi you connect to and/or the locks you use. I'm not sure where to take it from here, Awareness is a delicate virtue, too much of it and it turns into paranoia.
