It's CNBC, if you don't want to read this kind of garbage - and I agree with you, it's junk - don't read it. Pick your sources.

A better question might be why is it on HN? TBH, I'm actually more surprised that this is a billion dollar business, as far as I can tell, built on top of AirBnB. Why this one business over all the other companies that are managing multiple units on AirBnB?

Then why are you on the discussion board of a startup accelerator?

If you have a couple hours to spare, pull up the home page of foxnews.com or cnn.com and try to find the first article that isn't 1) broad national/global news (news covered by 100 other major outlets with the same facts that don't originate from the site), 2) submarine or bald-faced marketing(including viewpoint marketing), or 3) fluff human interest anecdotes(Jeanne Moos I'm looking at you).

But that's why I don't go to those sites, and come to HN instead.

Just like I don't look for something to eat in a latrine.

If you’re not a fan of capitalism you may want to find another website for your news rather than one started by a VC firm!
