Airbnb eating shit. Airbnb has really fucked up the housing market, everyone's realizing it's a sham and the practice has about as much public goodwill as Ticketmaster.
I think everyone's getting more wary of this exploitative bullshit in general and people are getting more fluent in boycotting, protesting and making noise. I truly, truly cannot wait for the streaming service ecosystem collapse too.
I'm conflicted on Airbnb. Their product really is superior to corporate hotel chains and they've opened up areas previously unserved by traditional hotels. In my city corporate landlords, foreign investors, and disinvestment in public housing seem to be much bigger problems than Airbnb.
What makes you think the streaming service ecosystem will collapse?
IMO: streaming services are serving narrower selections of content, becoming more restrictive with account sharing, becoming more expensive. Its becoming unusually frustrating to find the streaming service that has your favorite show on it because the licenses change hands over and over again as these streaming services spread and metastasize. It's hot garbage.
