I tend to pay about a sincere thank you and a neat souvenir/beer/chocolate from my country.

I have 40 references and have no problem finding a host literally anywhere. Mostly because people want my vouch. Still, host a lot and the invites will come .

I wish I were motivated enough to draw a graph mapping the influx of trolls into /trv/ over the course of the last few months.

Airbnb is paying to rent anything ranging from a guest room to an entire house that is privately owned.
Couch surfing is staying on someone's couch or floor for free.

Bad trolls but I'll respond anyway.
A lot of people who have enough money for hotels prefer getting to stay with a local person who can show them around. When I was living in New Delhi, I had a few couchsurfers over and received a lot of requests. I'd accept a few when I could and tried to be helpful to folks I couldn't accommodate. If you're fairly social, it's not any big weight on your shoulders - sometimes I'd get lonely in my apartment and enjoyed being able to act as a host or tour guide for a few days. Folks would get a free place to stay, and often reciprocated by cooking or buying me food and doing things like that.

the point of couch surfing is to NOT pay for accomodation, man...
Would I be able to crash on a couch in a big city like Tokyo or Hong Kong for a few days without any references on the site?
Or would I end up with a creepy gay Asian guy that would try to butt rape me in my sleep?
You can build up refs couch surfing by acting as a tour guide when other surfers visit your area if you can't actually put them up at your place.
You check "down to hang out" on your profile and you just meet up with people, show them a few sites and help them get acclimated.
