I doubt it. They're both two very different companies. Uber's business model is to undercut unhandesomely paid taxi drivers with slightly less paid contract drivers. Whereas airbnb undercuts multimillion dollar hotel chains.
The crucial difference is that an uber driver can only earn money when driving passengers for uber. Airbnb hosts, by contrast, can earn money without having to be anywhere near the unit, and can make money from multiple sources at a time.
At the end of the day, the feeling that someone is getting ripped off somewhere, somehow, is much less with airbnb than uber.
- nitrogen 9y agoSupposedly the people getting ripped off by AirBnB are the neighbors of the hosts.
