i mean couch surfing is guest and host being there and interacting with each other.

AirBnB is getting the flat for yourself for the time you rent it.

A big part of Airbnb used to be spending time with a host. It has since turned into just landlord via app.

That’s exactly how airBnB started though. Then they moved to renting out the whole place and now we are where we are.
