#Network Effect

Network effect is the alchemy of the business world that claims value rises as more participants join. What begins as a ghost town can reach a tipping point overnight when hordes flock in. The resulting dominance becomes an inescapable prison, shutting out any latecomers. Companies exploit this by designing systems that bind users like chained captives. From social networks to payment apps and beyond, an invisible hand lures people in. Before you know it, you’ve stepped into a digital labyrinth with no exit.
