    Then the next would be to search couchsurfing and hospitality club. Probably I'd choose Airbnb before a regular hotel, but keep in mind that a lot of money is going to a company doing quite little except having the de-facto market monopoly on hospitality exchange

      That's really not on my mind when trying to sort out a service that benefits me. With Air bnb they take a commission, however the homeowners are very happy as they are making more than they would in rent.

      My motto is, keep giving me a great service, and I'll keep giving you my money! 👍😁😍

      AirBNB is still not that scary compared to Facebook and Google - but I guess it's just a matter of time before it's bought up by one of them.

      I see various conspiracy theories lifted up here from time to time, everything that is bad in the world is due to some Illuminati group which purpose is to keep the "ordinary plebs" down.

      The truth is much more simple than that, for most people it's just much easier to pay taxes and royalties without complaining, to stick to the services that have the biggest network effects, to send votes and write nice comments to the Steemwhales, to use Microsoft Windows, to never question all the weird stuff the boss is deciding, etc ... hence those in power will always become more powerful. (or almost always).

      I'm terribly concerned that we're moving very much in the wrong direction now, particularly with Facebook and Google getting far too much power.
