Oh, the disconnect. Your average person rarely hires services like this, maybe a handful of times over a lifetime.



You'd be surprised by how many rich people there are. Airbnb doesn't need to sell millions of these services to make millions off them. If an "experience" costs $150, that's just as good as a night in their rooms, if not more profitable.


Good people are hard to find these days.


While probably an eternal truth, many/most people in the US can't afford to pay a lot of people for personal services.


Ye sorry should have added an "/s".


Don't tell us, tell the PA you hired to do your HN comments for today! :)
