What's a business that when you first heard it, thought it was the dumbest idea in the world, and it turned out to be hugely successful? (alien.top)

Airbnb sounded like a horrible idea to me. Who the heck would rent out a single room? Sounded like a recipe for murder.

Same for me. I also LOVED going to the rental shops (Blockbuster and Hollywood) as a young newlywed. It was like our date night every weekend. Just browsing and browsing trying to convince each other and compromising over movies. I could not see how Netflix could replace the experience. Boy was I wrong hahaha.

Oh they've replicated that browsing and browsing and trying to convince the other experience a bit waaaaay too well. Have to now plan for length of movie + 30-60 minutes browsing and selecting it of free time for movie night.
