In the early days of Airbnb, many predicted that the company and other sharing economy platforms would “disrupt” capitalism as usual, finally making it work for all stakeholders. But that’s not what happened. Instead, it got us all hooked and then got worse.
The enshittification of AirBnB actually makes me kind of grateful that I stand to inherit my parents’ timeshare that essentially just has a bunch of condos all over the place that you can book each year.
