Uber and airbnb work in almost every country/city. I dont meed to figure out what taxi service or hotel website to use in every city/country i visit. Also i hate hotels. I want a kitchen i can cook in and a washer for my clothes.

Not sure how you didn’t know the airbnb wouldn’t have a tv they have a section with every feature the place has and photos of the space. you can easily ask questions and see reviews before booking too.

I hate what airbnb does to rental/homeownership markets but airbnb fills a huge gap in accessibility. Especially for renting longterm in new places. Many countries require really weird third party agencies and paperwork and weird loopholes to rent a home while airbnb lets you rent in 3 clicks.

Governments should regulate people and companies from owning so many properties and exploitative rent increases to prevent the terrible parts. They should also launch initiatives for open source national alternatives to uber/airbnb because clearly they’re providing services people really like but the venture capitalists are doing capitalist bullshit to ruin the service after they get a monopoly
