Why is the pricing lower on direct bookings?

Guests who book through Airbnb, VRBO, or Tripadvisor pay services fees of $400-$1000+ on each of these sites. These service fees are set by the booking platform (not us). Booking direct automatically saves you from having to pay these service fees on various OTAs.
