From Couch Surfing to Gentrified Greed.
Started as a way to stay local and meet real people. Now it’s a shadow hotel chain that’s made rent unaffordable in half the cities it’s in. Great for the traveler, hell on the neighborhood. Once a grassroots gig… now a Wall Street darling with a customer support line that’ll ghost you.
Verdict: Not SphstRDnck. Slick, but soulless. Ruined mom-and-pop neighborhoods for shareholder yield.
