CouchSurfing is about Making Money
http://www.couchsurfing.org/news/article/145
Well, since Aug 2011 CouchSurfing has become a commercial corporation. No matter what the owners say, this means that from now on they're about making money on the project.
Frankly, I believe, that this turning from a non-profit organization into a B-corp. is just an official recognition of how the things have really been coming along for the last several years.
Anyway, I believe that cultural exchanging, travelling, meeting new friends, sharing experiences and all what we call "couchsurfing" - are not equal to the Internet site CouchSurfing dot org, and have never been equal. I will do all these, with or without this site, whatever would happen to it.
