  Nestle provides a useful service, does that make their literal slave labor acceptable?

    Didn’t say that, I’m comparing companies that do nothing useful to companies that do something useful

      Would you want Nestle to take over Mozilla then?

  Giving an avenue for rich development companies to snatch up properties they can short-term rent to rich travelers is a useful service?

    Because those companies can’t go to booking.com if there’s no airbnb?

      Assuning thats normally for hotels and such, not as easily, no. AirBnB's specific purpose is to remove barriers of entry for hosting people in your property. Initially that meant renting one of your rooms to a traveler on the cheap. Now it means companies that would otherwise have to jump through tons of regulatory hoops to put their properties on booking sites.

      Not to mention... even if its the same, then its the same and still not a useful service, yeah? It's just another booking service. Which, coincidentally, mostly extracts fees.

  Airbnb is a social plague, its perpetrators should be in prison.
