The early days were actually great. People renting out spare rooms for cheap was a win/win, but of course "entrepreneurs" had to turn that into a side business and AirBnB had to maximise profits so it all went to shit.

    It’s so funny because that’s exactly how capitalism ruins great ideas. I’m actually proud to have never used AirBnB, but when it first came out, it was probably a great way to save vs hotels that were overpriced and have massive overhead anyway.
