Pricing visibility – The prices Hosts set will include service fees, helping them better understand what guests pay.

Looks like they're going to make hosts bake the 15% guest fee into the nightly rate. Rolling out sometime in early 2024. If they make this change without a very obvious prompt for hosts to update their prices, it'll act like an across-the-board 15% price cut for hosts who aren't paying attention. Which the rest of us will then have to compete with.
