What percentage of their current revenue do you think comes from large, commercial operations (as opposed to single family homes ... maybe a side property being rented out)? No idea myself, but I would imagine comfortably under 50%....so it's hard to believe AirBnB aiming for this kind of pivot on the customer base, especially the one that got them to where they are today.

No one renting out a room in his house wants it rented based on an instaclick. Lyft started out with the huge pink mustache and front seat rides. They ditched that stuff fast too.

- spaceflunky 10y agoDoesn't matter what the percentage is today, it's what it will be in the future... It's a lot easier to say, "buy a second home or apt and make some money renting it out" than it is to say "make some money by letting a stranger go through all your personal shit. And if you don't, you're racist" "Home sharing" is over. Airbnb is all about being a broker for unlicensed mini-hotels now.
