Airbnb actually provides a useful service, unlike PayPal which only extracts fees

    Nestle provides a useful service, does that make their literal slave labor acceptable?

    Didn't say that, I'm comparing companies that do nothing useful to companies that do something useful

    Would you want Nestle to take over Mozilla then?

    No, but you are bringing up the merrits of an equally evil company and said thiet success is a sign of why they should be at the helm. I'm just trying to understand this.

    Air bnb is not evil, it's people exchanging services for money. They just resolve disputes, show reviews, etc.

    The difference with PayPal is that they are not in any business, so they can't necessarily resolve disputes other than relating to the payment itself. But the credit card issuer has exactly the same job, so PayPal is an extraneous intermediary

    Air BNB is, knowingly, helping to destroy the housing market. It's so bad cities are talking about banning them because of how they are driving up prices.

    Not building enough proprieties is destroying the housing market.

    Even if you ban airbnb, it doesn't solve this fundamental issue. Stop blaming businesses for NIMBYs voting to stop housing development.

    Giving an avenue for rich development companies to snatch up properties they can short-term rent to rich travelers is a useful service?

    Because those companies can't go to booking.com if there's no airbnb?

    Assuning thats normally for hotels and such, not as easily, no. AirBnB's specific purpose is to remove barriers of entry for hosting people in your property. Initially that meant renting one of your rooms to a traveler on the cheap. Now it means companies that would otherwise have to jump through tons of regulatory hoops to put their properties on booking sites.

    Not to mention... even if its the same, then its the same and still not a useful service, yeah? It's just another booking service. Which, coincidentally, mostly extracts fees.

    Airbnb is a social plague, its perpetrators should be in prison.
