Would you also argue that AirBnB does everything hotels do, as well as a website?

I'm not sure of their business model, but my understanding is that AirBnB doesn't set the price of the rentals or pay the home-owners, they take a cut of whatever price the homeowner decides to charge.

As I see it, Uber employs drivers, whereas AirBnB facilitates BnB owners.
