Give me your hot takes on Airbnb’s new launch! Good: * Ambitious and sorta adjacent to current business * Beautiful design execution as always * There’s no great “app” to do these things today so could be an opportunity if user behavior emerges Concerns: * I believe Experiences has been a dud and this is doubling down on that strat * People don’t naturally go to Airbnb for these things so will need to create new user habits Are you bullish or bearish?

Only talked about becuase it was a huge company that did it. Didn't pass the eye test for me.

I question the viability of getting people to use Airbnb more frequently in their home city / outside of travel. I get why they're doing it, but idk. I think it makes a lot more sense to focus on travel and vacations, and grow from there, rather than go off and do some completely separate thing. So in that vein, services makes a lot more sense to me than experiences.

Bearish for now. Looks slick, but feels like a rebranded Experiences play. Big behavior shift needed , hard to see it sticking without killer integration.
