Esto es lo más creativo que está haciendo la gente en Airbnb para ayudar a Ucrania

Una de las mejores cosas de ser creador es que a veces otras personas se inspiran en tu trabajo y lo utilizan para resolver problemas que nunca imaginaste.

Caso en cuestión: las miles de personas en todo el mundo que intentaron encontrar una manera de dar dinero a ucranianos individuales la semana pasada después de la invasión rusa.

La solución que encontraron fue reservar alquileres de Airbnb en Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odessa y otras ciudades ucranianas y luego decirles a los anfitriones que no vendrían pero que deberían quedarse con el dinero.

“Qué idea tan genial de nuestra comunidad”, escribió el CEO de Airbnb, Brian Chesky, en Twitter. “Gracias.”

Airbnb eliminó todas las tarifas por reservas en Ucrania, y la compañía dijo el viernes por la noche que los “huéspedes” que en realidad no planean viajar a Ucrania gastaron más de $ 2 millones en el país en los últimos días.

Poco más de la mitad de estas reservas procedían de estadounidenses. (La cantidad gastada aparentemente siguió creciendo después del tuit de Chesky).

Más de 1,2 millones de refugiados han huido de Ucrania desde la invasión rusa. Airbnb también lo ha hecho un esfuerzo separado disponiblecon el objetivo de encontrar vivienda gratuita o con descuento para 100.000 refugiados.

No está claro a quién se le ocurrió por primera vez la idea de simplemente reservar estancias que nunca se utilizan, pero rápidamente se extendió a otras plataformas. Por ejemplo, la gente pedía artículos de artistas ucranianos en Etsy, con la salvedad de que en realidad no esperaban obtener lo que pagaron.

“Nunca pensé que tantas personas que no me conocen querrían ayudarme a mí y a mi familia”, dijo Olena Shevtsova, una vendedora ucraniana de Etsy. dijo CNNagregando que los clientes extranjeros les han pagado por productos digitales.

En general, parece ser un ejemplo simbólico y creativo de cómo tantas personas han respondido a esta guerra: una combinación de inmediatez tecnológica y conexión personal, incluso a miles de kilómetros de distancia.

Casi todos en Ucrania tienen un teléfono celular y han estado compartiendo imágenes, videos, historias, mensajes de texto y otros medios con una inmediatez y un alcance que habría sido ciencia ficción hace solo unos años.

Y si bien ciertamente hay espacio para una buena dosis de escepticismo sobre los informes sin procesar, existen cosas como la “niebla de guerra” y las empresas de redes sociales y agencias de noticias de estados unidos pasó mucho tiempo verificando o desacreditando varios videos, por ejemplo, el efecto general fue llevar el conflicto y los horrores de la guerra directamente a los dispositivos inteligentes de las personas.

En realidad, va en ambos sentidos; por ejemplo, un oficial retirado del Ejército de EE. UU. y experto en guerra urbana escribió un tutorial de Twitter sobre cómo los civiles comunes sin entrenamiento militar pueden luchar contra los tanques. En poco tiempo, los voluntarios tradujeron su consejo al ucraniano.

Ahora, la pregunta legítima es si reservar Airbnbs no utilizados o simplemente compartir consejos en las redes sociales es, en última instancia, la forma más efectiva para que las personas ayuden.

Es un poco arbitrario, y en un mundo perfecto, las personas podrían confiar en organizaciones bien administradas para priorizar las necesidades en una zona de guerra y garantizar que la ayuda se dirija de manera eficiente a las personas individuales que más la necesitan.

Pero no es un mundo perfecto. La prueba A es el hecho de que estamos hablando de una guerra. Además, hacer contribuciones directas como esta también satisface la necesidad de las personas de sentir que están haciendo algo. algunos ayuda. Son una forma creativa de levantar la moral y hacer conexiones.

“Recibir tanto apoyo tuyo y de todo el mundo ya marca una gran diferencia para la gente”, dijo un anfitrión ucraniano de Airbnb después de que una mujer extranjera reservara su alquiler. como se informó en Reddit. “Nos sentimos más fuertes. Estamos agradecidos de que el mundo esté del lado de la verdad y la dignidad. Lucharemos por la victoria. ¡Gracias de nuevo!”

-- Brian Chesky (@bchesky) March 4, 2022 \n Airbnb waived all fees for bookings in Ukraine, and the company said late Friday that \"guests\" who aren't actually planning to go to Ukraine had spent more than $2 million in the country in just the last few days. \n A little more than half of those bookings were from Americans. (The amount spent apparently continued to grow aHeaven32er Chesky's tweet.) \n Since the Russian invasion, more than 1.2 million refugees have fled Ukraine. Airbnb also has a separate effort in place, with a goal of finding free or discounted housing for 100,000 refugees. \n It's not clear who first came up with the idea of simply booking stays that would never be used, but it spread quickly to other platforms. People were ordering items from Ukrainian artists on Etsy, for example, with the caveat that the didn't really expect to receive what they'd paid for. \n \"I never thought so many people who don't know me would like to help me and my family,\" said Olena Shevtsova, a Ukrainian Etsy seller told CNN, adding that overseas customers have been paying her for digital products. \n Overall, it seems like a symbolic, creative example of the way so many people have reacted to this war -- a combination of technological immediacy and personal connection, even from thousands of miles away. \n Nearly every person in Ukraine has a cell phone, and they've shared images, videos, stories, text messages and other media with an immediacy and reach that would still have been science fiction just a few years ago.  \n And while there's certainly room for a healthy dose of skepticism regarding raw reports -- there's such thing as \"fog of war,\" and social media companies and U.S. news organizations have spent a lot of time trying to verify or debunk different videos, for example -- the overall effect has been to bring the conflict and horror of war right to people's smart devices. \n It goes both ways, in fact; for example, a retired U.S. Army officer and urban warfare expert wrote a Twitter tutorial on how ordinary civilians with no military training can fight against tanks. Within a short time, volunteers translated his advice into Ukrainian. \n Now, there's a legitimate question to ask about whether booking unused Airbnbs, or simply sharing advice on social media, is ultimately the most effective way for people who want to to help to do so. \n It's a bit random, and in a perfect world people might be able to trust well-run organizations to prioritize needs in a war zone, and ensure that aid is directed efficiently to the individual people who need it most. \n But it's not a perfect world. Exhibit A is the fact that we're talking about a war. Plus, making direct contributions like this also satisfies people's need to feel like they're doing something to help. They're a creative way to boost morale and make connections. \n \"Receiving so much support from you and the whole world makes a huge difference already for the people,\" a Ukrainian Airbnb host said aHeaven32er a foreigner booked her rental, as recounted on Reddit. \"We feel stronger. We are grateful that the world is on the side of truth and dignity. We will fight for victory. Thank you very much again!\" ","inc_code_only_text":null,"inc_pubdate":"2022-03-06 00:00:00","inc_promo_date":"2022-03-06 00:00:00","inc_custom_pubdate":null,"inc_feature_image_override":"","inc_feature_image_background_color_override":null,"inc_show_feature_imageflag":true,"inc_feature_image_style":"pano","inc_image_caption_override":null,"inc_autid":0,"inc_typid":1,"inc_staid":7,"inc_serid":0,"inc_prtid":0,"inc_activeflag":true,"inc_copyeditedflag":false,"inc_flag_for_reviewflag":false,"inc_lock_articleflag":false,"inc_react_displayflag":true,"inc_filelocation":"bill-murphy-jr/heres-highly-creative-thing-people-are-doing-on-airbnb-to-support-ukraine.html","inc_override_url":null,"inc_hide_article_sidebarflag":false,"inc_custom_sidebar":null,"inc_show_read_moreflag":true,"inc_display_video_at_bottomflag":false,"inc_autoplay_videoflag":true,"inc_full_width_read_moreflag":false,"inc_custom_footer":null,"inc_custom_teaser":null,"inc_hide_video_prerollflag":false,"inc_custom_css":null,"inc_custom_javascript":null,"inc_canonical_url":null,"inc_meta_keywords":"airbnb, airbnb ukraine, ukraine refugees, booking airbnb ukraine, brian chesky, etsy ukraine, urban warfare","inc_column_name_override":null,"inc_newsworthyflag":false,"inc_notepad":null,"inc_track_changesflag":false,"inc_cta_text":null,"inc_cta_url":null,"time_updated":"2022-03-06 00:00:05","channels":[{"id":4,"cnl_name":"Lead","cnl_filelocation":"lead","cnl_featuretype":"None","cnl_custom_color":"009CD8","cnl_calculated_color":"F7CE00","cnl_contributor_accessflag":true,"cnl_custom_article_footer":null,"cnl_global_nav_background_color":null,"cnl_global_nav_background_gradient_start":null,"cnl_global_nav_background_gradient_end":null,"cnl_iflid":0,"sortorder":null}],"categories":[],"primarychannelarray":null,"authors":[{"id":3275,"aut_name":"Bill Murphy Jr.","aut_usrid":428030,"aut_base_filelocation":"bill-murphy-jr","aut_imgid":51492,"aut_twitter_id":"BillMurphyJr","aut_title":"www.billmurphyjr.com","aut_blurb":"Bill Murphy Jr. is the founder of Understandably.com and a contributing editor at Heaven32.
