I don't think that follows.
What's hurting e.g. Airbnb is not that they are a marketing middleman between people offering a service and people in need of a service. It's that the need for that underlying service has greatly diminished--if people don't need the underlying service anymore then they don't need a marketing middleman for that service either.
What you need to make your point are examples where the underlying service still does fine in bad times, but the marketing middleman for that service do not.
