a couple months ago i had found this “‘coliving’” website(think like a glorified dorm room and/or hostel, not private rooms) that seemed interesting but there was pretty much nothing about it online anywhere other than their website except the classic “guy on reddit has same question and gets zero replies” scenario. and they had these videos on their website of the houses but they also had a button to request a virtual tour so i was like ok sure why not, i’ll do a virtual tour. so i go so far as to get on zoom with this lady, and she’s like, did you want to do a virtual tour? and i’m like yes obviously and so you know what she does? she goes on that website and clicks on that video that i have already seen and shares her screen. and i’m thinking wtf of course but she’s like, would you like to apply? and i’m like yes please :) so the zoom call ends and she emails me the application and i ghost her immediately because you have to be so so so incredibly insane if you really think i’m gonna sign a lease to rent a bunk in a place i’ve only seen in a video on a website on a screen share on a zoom call
#like i get that there are privacy concerns with doing a virtual tour in a place where people are already living#but why advertise it as a ‘virtual tour’ when you’re just showing me a prerecorded video that’s also on the website.#best case scenario they do own the place but it’s a total shithole. worst case scenario they don’t even own it and it’s all a scam#i of course googled the address too so i know it either was at one point or still is also a short-term hostel#whereas this woman i zoomed with said minimum stay is 3 months. 🚩🚩🚩#and apparently a guy died there once a few years ago. Lol
