no disagree. I am going to a simpler model of worse == cost. You're in a different plane of what is better or worse. Before AirBnB there was only hotels. I can't think of a basis that you can go non=financial and compare them.

But, it has gotten worse. So judged against itself ab initio, its getting worse. Uber, is worse now. For both drivers and pax. For drivers there is much less profit and for clients, its still better than most taxi services, but it isn't as much better than it used to be and some gaming of the system has emerged.

There are glamping spots that are priced similar to airbnbs in a given area. The glamping spots don't require you to do chores.

Assuming both cost the same (sometimes glamping spots cost more) - people will likely choose the glamping spot because of better experience.

Yes AirBnB created more options to stay than before. I will be curious to see how the next airbnb fixes the problems created by airbnb.
