When it was just people renting out spare bedrooms for cheaper than a hotel it was fine.
When people started making it an investment and changing it from "place to sleep" to some kind of destination whole-house/apartment rental bullshit it became the toxic thing it is now.
It also fucked up the housing market because AirBnB rentals for $250/night every weekend pay more than renters with lower wear and no renters rights, and make for a better investment than just selling the property.
