With the rise of the internet, we are seeing platform business models becoming important. At the business layer, users (producers) can create value on the platform for other users (consumers) to consume. TV Channels work on a Pipe model but YouTube works on a Platform model. Encyclopaedia Britannica worked on a Pipe model but Wikipedia has flipped it and built value on a Platform model. Our classrooms still work on a Pipe model but Udemy and Skillshare are turning on the Platform model for education.
