Good, I hope it dies. Air BNB was kind of neat early on. I stayed in a number which were just people's houses that they lived in and they were doing air BNB while they were on vacation. I stayed in one that was some old guys house and he just lived in a trailer out back when he had folks staying for air bnb. When I asked why he did that he said it gave him something to do and he liked staying in his trailer anyway. Those days they were cheap and the experience was usually good.
These days they're clearly full time rentals usually devoid of any life or character and they're SO EXPENSIVE. I've gone back to hotels (or real bnbs when I can afford it). Death to everything air bnb has become
the dirt cheap ones that are actually just a room or bed in someone's hosue or apartment are also still around and useful last I checked. But honestly only really worth seeking out in places where all other options are really spendy. I spent a few nights in a creepily decorated bedroom in San Francisco once in the past few years and it was by far the cheapest option, and seemingly all it was doing was keeping a spare bedroom occupied in this older lady's apartment (idk what you'd call it, I think she owned it but it wasn't a standalone building). Probably the only way she could afford to stay in SF tbh. But that situation is the exception, most consumers don't seem to be willing to go for that and want a whole (fancy if possible) place to themselves, and most landleeches won't stop at renting out a spare bedroom.
Airbnb will not die from this. There was a surge in rentals after the pandemic and now rentals are equalizing again. There are too many suckers for Airbnb to go bust.

Yet another L for "this new business gimmick is liberating actually" takes.
A lot of things that would be good otherwise simply aren't because they're made for the benefit of
and must continue to adhere to 
demands.
