There's no way that companies should be allowed such total and irreversible control, especially if they effectively control so much real estate

  Airbnb controlls zero real-estate, it's a coordination and payment mechanism, that's all.

    I wonder if the downvotes are by people who think this is an excuse for airbnb rather than pointing how little added value it actually provides and how easily replaceable it is

      No idea why you're being downvoted. AirBnB controls no real estate. The properties listed there are owned by people outside AirBnB and can be rented out on other sites, such as VRBO. Edit: Misread original comment.

        Has the gp edited their comment because from what I can see, they said exactly that. "Airbnb controlls zero real-estate, it's a coordination and payment mechanism, that's all." How is that different to what you said?

          Hmm, seems I misread. I'll edit.

    I believe the word effectively is used in the parent comment to indicate the control is through coordination and payment mechanisms.
