  Airbnb is profitable. It has been since second half of 2016. Or at least close enough to profitable depending on the metrics you want to account for. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/airbnb-made-its-first-profit-in-2016-report-2017-01-26 https://www.marketwatch.com/story/airbnb-made-its-first-prof... https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-01-15/airbnb-says-it-made-a-profit-again-in-2018-as-ipo-looms-large https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-01-15/airbnb-sa...

    Ah thanks! I always did get the impression it was a more viable business than Lyft or Uber, but wasn't aware it was becoming profitable.
