The term platform capitalism emerged out of the rise of platform-based business models, which prioritize building the infrastructure for communication or exchange, rather than a specific good or service. Businesses such as Google, Facebook, Uber, and Airbnb are robust platforms that can facilitate smaller business transactions and interactions, expanding their operations and overall influence, while profiting from transactions, ad revenue, personal information capture, or user-generated value. Such monopolistic models have a significant effect on the economy, introducing new infrastructures of capitalism that use data as a means and end for generating revenue. Against platform capitalism’s vampiric relationship to data, decentralized practices reconfigure data to build nonprofit community networks (see Data, Open access, Care, Automated, I stood before the source, Wages for Facebook, Running with Concepts: The Mediatic Edition).
