There's already alternatives, and they've been there for a while. The first treason to the community came from Casy Fenton who sold Couchsurfing some 10 years ago, even though he'd benefited from the volunteer work of many skilled members. That triggered the creation of BeWelcome. Some years later, BeWelcome was perceived as suffering from different issues that were preventing it from growing to its potential, and Trustroots was founded as well. Trustroots is a promising project.
