I think you are thinking about product ecosystems like Apple. I'm talking about how Airbnb has a buyer-seller ecosystem, like Youtube.
Platforms like YouTube and Airbnb offers sellers of a product (video, short-term rental etc.) access to buyers. The platform/ecosystem gets more valuable to sellers as the number of buyers on the platform increase, and vice-versa. A flywheel effect.
In fact, Airbnb doesn't just have a buyer-seller ecosystem, but also an ecosystem of startups built around it: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/...-t-have-to ; https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/22/the-airb...world.html
Peace.
Yes, I would use the word "platform" over "ecosystems". That is why I used platform in front of ecosystem in my original message.
A platform is a form of ecosystem and I have to say, one of the strongest type of ecosystem.
