The moral instinct that opposes renting out beds like these, but has no reaction to people sleeping on the street (because no one gets paid) is fascinating!

That's making a pretty big assumption about the poster and their views.

The assumption is that people have thoroughly thought out positions on things that aren't full of contradictions. Something like this challenges each of us to figure out how to square the circle on our world views with how things are and how things should be.

I don't know the poster specifically, of course, but this is a very common view.

It's known, at least by its opponents, as "The Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics".
