Great comment. I've used couchsurfing in 2008-2009 a bit, but never to stay - just to meet local people when I was traveling for work in foreign places.
The weird thing is, AirBnB came along, and I keep reading the sentence "nobody believed that hosting a stranger at home would work", which made me internally scream "but there's couchsurfing!!".
In fact, I think that Couchsurfing (the website/company) had a chance to become like AirBnB. They didn't. Maybe intentionally.
