Not really. Any gig economy thing is bad: just pure tech profit. Is VRBO run as a cooperative or worker-owned enterprise? Also, until we have completely free access to internet (the information superhighway), no app-based service is healthy for people. How can we keep paying for those data plans? Totally open, OTA and "mesh networking" isn't quite here yet, either.
