Landlords are using AI to screen their tenants, heightening errors and discrimination.

      I think application fees can have some use given that a person needs to spend their time reviewing it. Also without a fee someone could apply to hundreds of listings without even looking at them. But with ai, the former example doesn’t work nearly as much. $100 is too steep for the latter

        I don’t buy it. The landlord is already extracting money via rent seeking. That’s what pays for the “work” they have to do in the applications

      I was wondering about this. What is the right etiquette? It’s not the same as multiple channels on the same server. But at the same time - supply side? Or consumption side?

      Should clients filter them out? Do we need a way to “merge” on a per post basis?(or link or relate or…)

      It is an interesting concept to ask. I don’t have a good answer.

        When one drops the classic social media attitude of gathering as many views and comments as possible, the answer is simple: post it on your favourite community.
