>It has become obvious that AirBNB is now targeting the upper-end market in terms of pricing

less than 20% of the global population has ever been on a plane, AirBNB has always been targeted towards the 1% of the population that can afford to throw money away on leisure travel

AirBnb was about renting a spare room in someones house. Not saying anything bad about AirBnb, I love it and will continue using them.

There is a clear difference however between the $25k for 5 days kind of stays they are constantly promoting on their homepage, compared to their bread and butter apartments scattered across cities.
