Just like many of these other types of middle ground platforms, it should be a small company managed by a team of like 10 people max making small money with ads and a small kickback fee on each transactions (like a few cents, not the 20%+ they take now).
I don’t agree at all. I don’t think any of these “app” jobs or gig BS should be a thing. Airbnb is screwing with the housing market, and when things with an Airbnb goes wrong there’s little to no recourse.
Hotels already exist, and they’re an established and regulated form of business. With a hotel you more or less know what to expect, and there are consumer protections in place.
