My entire family has switched back to hotels with no regrets. We’ve all separately had bad experiences with Airbnb and realized hotels would never get away with that shit.
Also, unmentioned in the article is the topic of how Airbnb has contributed to the destruction of the single family home ownership market.
AirBnB was supposed to save capitalism
Some people will just say anything
“No bro you don’t get it, man, this lets people with multiple properties get more money out of them instead of those pesky hotels with their employees and regulations, man”
AirBNb, uber, lyft are all designed to circumvent existing laws by setting up parallel systems. The companies set themselves up to be the gatekeepers, instead of existing regulatory systems. The enshittification is predictable.
The hardest thing in governance is:
Comprehensively reform a system in place while using it…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.
I really want to meet someone who earnestly believes this lmao
Right? Since when any of these companies were built with any other goal other than make someone rich?
What is supposed to be the difference between capitalism and garbage ? Asking for a commie friend.
Capitalism is when it turn everything into garbage and hoard it among a handful of people. Garbage is the product of human activity that is useless. So it’s not that there is a difference between the two, but capitalism is both garbage and produces garbage itself.
