This seems like a comment for a post about Uber. I don't see how it's relevant here.

Oh, the article itself is about people buying a single resource the sub-renting it out. So that's the feudalism part.

The connected network part was also similar because you have to go through these co-living space capitalist-hippy administrators to actually live in the co-living space. So some of the co-living spaces are co-living as defined by "you passed our landlord's test" but others are "everybody must like you to live here."

If this was relating to Uber, we'd also mention they are doing the entire "break local laws and hope city hall doesn't care" trick by introducing oversubscribed short term housing which is against city policy.
