NETWORK EFFECTS
In economics and business, a network effect (also called network externality) is the effect that one user of a good or service has on the value of that product to other people.
A phenomenon whereby a good or service becomes more valuable when more people use it.
The resulting increased value of a product because more and more people use it.
