I remember when AirBNB was new and they were giving talsk at various tech conferences. The buzz and excitement for what it could ecome was great. The person presenting at the local PyCon I was at used it to get local accomodation for cheap.
Then the greedy landlords with multiple property-portfolios got involved and it turned into yet another money making gig for everyone and his auntie. It’s turned to shit as do so many things when the lust for money overtakes it.
Every startup trys billing themselves as a new, sexy tech company, even when they’re not. It looks good to venture capitalist investors. Uber is the same way. They’re a transport company, not the next google.
