In the early days of Airbnb, many predicted that the company and other sharing economy platforms would “disrupt” capitalism as usual, finally making it work for all stakeholders. But that’s not what happened. Instead, it got us all hooked and then got worse.
Yeah it was really cool when it started. But when people started running airBnBs as a business it turned into shit, and started ruining city centers too.
AirBnB started as a great example of a sharing economy, basically the peer-to-peer of travel lodging.
Now it is just a decentralized hotel system, but with no room service.
