Airbnb is targeted at tourism, and passersby. End of discussion. It has zero effect on long-term apartment rental. The only 'disruption' this is causing is to the rip-off merchants in the old-school hospitality industry, who have been gouging tourists since time immemorial.

This kind of nonsense is almost guaranteed to be backed by big business hotel chains.

In response, I will double down on my commitment to spend time in more Airbnbs, and not at hotels.

Any sources on your wildly baseless claims?
Nope, but from what I can tell from data analytics such as presented, this doesn't set me apart from anyone else. :-)
