> The fact that "power users" are making so much money from Airbnb indicates just how poorly hotels serve travelers. Rather than curb users to 1 listing, why not try to embrace their energy to create a better travel service? A lot of people prefer Airbnb not because hotels are so terrible but because Airbnb is so cheap. > These negative Airbnb articles simply indicate that Airbnb is growing faster than the company can keep up with its users. Airbnb is a big company with a lot of resources at this point. They aren't doing anything about these problems because they don't want to. Right now they are exactly where they want to be: they collect a hefty percentage of every transaction that rolls through their platform, and they get to offload pretty much all of the risk onto their users.
