Airbnb is arguably something that didn't have any real net benefit to society yes.
I am conflicted about uber though. Many, many people I know (mostly women) have had their life completely transformed post uber. It ushered in a mobility revolution that would likely only be smaller than the car or bicycle in terms of liberating some populations and increasing their freedom. It was all built on lies and masquerades though.
Perhaps that's not new however? All of history seems to have been built on ideas that robbed Paul to pay Peter anyways.
