"Sharing economy" = shareCROPPING economy. (look up "sharecropping" to understand )
But basically, sharecroppers were exposed to all the risk, and the landowner got the initial first dibs on the crops. The landowner often times had complete ability to be completely arbitrary ( like AirBNB is in this case )
You are not running a business if you don't have direct access to your clientele. You are a shareCROPPER. Look it up.
Use AirBNB, as a marketing vehicle, not your only income source.
Woo hoo, I love these downvotes. Seriously, peeps...give me your hate. And while you are doing that - please tell me which bit of my statement is factually incorrect.
- bagels 11y agoI looked it up. "a tenant farmer especially in the southern United States who is provided with credit for seed, tools, living quarters, and food, who works the land, and who receives an agreed share of the value of the crop minus charges" There are no crops involved in the posted story. Further, AirBNB doesn't own the land so I'm not sure the term even makes sense as a metaphor.
