    It’s so weird seeing almost 500 upvotes on a post like this on lemmy where, based on comments, like 90% of it’s users can barely afford rent, let alone going on vacation and staying at a place that offers breakfast.

      Well I mean, the majority of hotels don’t even serve free breakfast anymore once they realized they could get away with not having it or making it a paid thing. This used to be common a while ago, when I’m sure Lemmy users used to be taken on vacations by their parents.

      Oh it’s just the usual people that complain that they can’t afford anything but somehow they’ve visited 35 countries so far in their life and are planning their next trip to add one more to the list.

      Could it be possible that these are different groups of people? Lemmy has like 70,000 monthly users now.

      I mean, I travel for work a lot and have to stay weeks in hotels. And weeks means weekends, so yeah I can relate. There’s a lot of people I meet around the world that travel like me and wouldn’t be able to afford those same hotels for a vacation… like me lol
