Facebook, sure, but Uber and AirBNB? I don't see how Uber has displaced some community function. AirBNB is arguably destructive to communities, but again how was community fulfilling the need it attempts to address?

Before Uber it was totally normal to ask someone, even an acquaintance, for a ride to the airport.
