For a while there I was much more likely to book an Airbnb for any trip I was taking. Then the fees went up, like way up. Suddenly the cleaning fee and Airbnb fee doubled the charge and I started noping out of the booking.

Same thing for Uber. In my trip history back in 2018 and earlier I could take an Uber or Lyft between my house and office for around $12 and now it's $40.

Rationally I understand why fees go up, how the fees were being kept down artificially to get people hooked, the effects of inflation. Rationally I understand supply/demand and how all this is complex and tied in with local regulation, taxes, the housing market, etc. Hell, I own a short term rental.

Just my two cents.
