YouTube used illegal methods to succeed but there was no appreciable damage to anyone. The world was better for what YouTube did. Airbnb is causing actual pain in many people's lives and the problem is fundamental.
You simply can't invite dozens of strangers into apartment buildings without causing pain to the other inhabitants. Noise, damage, violence, and other issues are inevitable. Apartments are usually hellish enough with long-term tenants that are subject to real consequences.
No Airbnb employee or investor would put up with living in an apartment building full of Airbnb users. They'd go insane. But they do seem wiling to inflict this pain on others. That's evil.
