Why are they called sharing companies? You are renting things. Sharing is when I give my neighbor something or let them borrow my tools.
It seems all companies are wanting customers to lease or rent their products nowadays. Cars leases, cellphone installment plans, Spotify/Apple Music/Pandora, SaaS products, renting instead of buying homes...
What happened to ownership? I feel the consumers always loose money and only gain temporary convenience. Yet I still "rent" some things regardless of my thoughts, it's the only "better" option in some cases.
