Before digressing, can you just first acknowledge that when I ask "do you know this or are you guessing", the answer is you're guessing?

I mean, it’s a pretty educated guess. The $100 penalty that’s already levied doesn’t go to shafted renters, so why would this larger fee?

Rereading their statement, these are platform fees, of course they go to Airbnb. Not guessing, just reading between the lines.

It's plain as day, the fees are charged to the host, and thus Airbnb takes the fees.
