I hate them 100%. I think they're worthless, and ruin the experience.
You're paying money for a curated experience and put trust into a company that promises high, but can deliver low.
So you can work remote? Great! Why give up so much of your income to a company that curate it's content on social media?
The whole point of travel, is to experience new things. I enjoy booking airbnbs, having co-working spaces, private hotels, etc - I don't really enjoy booking it city to city with the same people, or "same group of foreigners." I value making local friends and connections - and that only happens if you go out cold, venture out, and not stick to a curated experience.
Travel is fun because of the risk, the less risk that's accepted, the more and more it becomes a beige experience.
Remote work and Travel isn't for everyone. I've lost jobs/clients simply because they were uncomfortable with me being out of the office for a while, or exhaustion.
At the same time I've learned and experienced so much that I wouldn't have it any other way, financially and mentally I've prospered so much.
