I don't know, to me, I treat Airbnbs and Ubers considerably nicer than respective hotels and taxis because they are real peoples' personal property (I even do the dishes for Airbnb owners even though I'm not supposed to).

I guess I'm in the minority.

Lesson learned.

At what point of sharing does something become unworthy of respect? Is a married couple's property unworthy? A family's? A group of roommates?

I'd suggest: at the point where you start paying for the "sharing" in money.

I have much more respect for something that an actual person owns. If it's some mom and pop bed and breakfast I respect it a lot more than if it is some hotel.

EDIT: After thinking some more it is all boils down to how much the owner cares about it. For example I really care a lot about my car but the rental comapany doesn't really care much about any specific car that they own.

When's it's owned by a publicly traded company.

I guess I should clarify: I put in extra effort to treat them nicer than baseline.

I'm the same way. Granted, I am not a jerk about taking care of my hotel room either, but I definitely think about it differently.

I just know a mistake I make in an Airbnb might mean breaking someones things that have sentimental/personal value whereas a corporate-owned hotel obviously doesn't have that at all.
