AirBnB at its best allows people with unused spare rooms to generate an income from that asset
And at its worst it prices residents out of their own city while destroying the local hospitality industry. For every "common person with an unused spare room showing tourists cool local things" there are at least ten faceless investment firms treating them as de-facto hotel rooms you get the honor of cleaning yourself.
Seriously, AirBnB is your shining example of why we shouldn't view tech bros with extreme skepticism?
