wow, do you get paid for this drivel?

What airbnb "disrupted" is the idea that corporations should pay the taxes they are liable for, obey zoning laws, and respect their neighbors. There is relatively limited innovation once you get past tax dodging: vrbo, homeaway, et al, existed long before airbnb.

And in what sense is consuming ride-sharing any different than paying a taxi? Unless you help drive when you're in the backseat of an uber vehicle, you're just as passive as you would be in the back seat of a taxi.

Finally, plenty of people published stuff before the internet -- zines for starters, small newspapers, etc.
