Ask HN: Why such a big number of news about Airbnb on HN?

I'm amused about why there are so much entries about the Airbnb fiasco. Why is it of so much interest to hackers?

1) it was a big story in general, 2) it was a very big story in the tech blogosphere and 3) it is one of the most successful ycombinator companies to date (ycombinator also being the host of hn). Seems pretty straightforward to me.

I think it's a bit to much, too. It's essentially just one story..<p>As to why? Because it's a popular, successful startup (and an extremely awesome way to travel!!!)

My doubt was sincere; I didn't know that Airbnb was somewhat related to HN. That explains much.<p>Thanks to everyone.

It's quite a drama and everybody can relate to the story as a potential host, traveler, or founder.
