I don't understand the hype... this is destroying the market and will cut margins of hotels, potentially affecting quality in the long run. How can travellers profit from it longterm?

Seriously? We're talking about bringing transparency to a really blurred market and you think this will not help customers in the long term?
Not sure, since this is driving prices down in a market already plagued by high booking fees from travel providers. In which way do you see people benefiting from that beyond saving a buck here and there?
