As long as the Facebook feature nets AirBnB more than it did without the feature, I don't see how this hurts them. Lots of successful businesses "suffer" from the free rider problem. What percentage of users of Google and Craigslist bring them revenue?

Doesn't every Google user bring Google revenue through advertising..?

Not if all the ads a user sees are CPC-based and the user doesn't click. Doesn't matter though, enough people do click...
