My guess is sharing economy apps actually make exploitation harder because everything is tracked and promptly reviewed. It would be *hard* to be a serial killer with AirBnB! "Wow twenty people disappeared after logging into this unit probably a coincidence I bet"

Before I get into an Uber I can see how many trips they've completed and their rider satisfaction. I can't get any of that with a cab! I have no idea whether cab companies even track it! eBay? The whole transaction is logged and backed up and seller/buyer histories are public.
