Hosts in name only

Twenty four hours for a host to confirm my booking ? Why so ? I as a guest, seek, find evaluate and pre authorise my payment before a host is notified as to my confirmed booking and they have a full day ( twenty four hours ) to make their mind up ? FFS, get a life Airbnb, hosts have access to our guest profile on Airbnb, booking request details and should be given no more than an hour to respond one way or the other. Appreciate that time differences play a part but this is a business not a play thing.
