I really don’t think that;s how it works. Read THS’s T&Cs; they are clear they aren’t liable for things that go wrong even for sits that follow the rules. They are only responsible for their employees (not us members) and providing the platform (not what happens in the real world).
You’re alternately saying THS’s terms matter and that they don’t, depending on whether you agree with them. Like their terms say no third parties and yet you accepted despite that. So why advocate for a change in terms, since you’d do what you want regardless.
If I were a host, a sitter who ignores terms is a risky bet, because they’ll be selective about what’s supposed to be done or not, depending on their own preferences and priorities. And that’s back to my reference to “no honor among thieves,” because implicit in that is doing what’s convenient or useful, with little or no regard to allegiances, agreements, etc.
I really can’t follow your reasoning.
You provide evidence that proves the opposite of what you claim.
@Jenny this one might have run its race too, going round and round.
