Most network effects businesses are predicated on the assumption of closed data True in 2000s and 2010s. Now it’s possible to generally liberate closed data thru coops, data takeout, TLS. As data acquires interoperability, network dynamics invert where closed networks are increasingly stranded fighting solo while open networks can ingest everything. The result is competition based on value delivered vs lock in. Fundamental shift in power that counterpositions against incumbents for whom it’s irrational to open up until it’s too late. Thus the era of traditional closed data network effects is over. Tho it’ll take 2 decades to play out.

spitballing here, but i think this is due to network maturity & saturation if everything is a replica of something else, then new networks must poach users from existing networks to grow OR must offer niche content to attract a smaller yet highly targeted user base if the former, then the value of the network is not ~more users~, but its ability to retain & defend its ~current users~ if the latter, then the value of the network becomes the differentiated content, which is inherently appealing to a smaller number of users & thus user growth does not necessarily equate to network value

I’m assuming he means that authentic content is more valuable than who you know. Recommendation engines are way more disruptive.
