@noorul many of these smaller marketplaces still exist eg #MightyApe in Aotearoa (NZ) and #FishPond in the UK, but the #PlatformMonopoly dynamic means they struggle for oxygen in the face of massive players like #Amazon and #Ebay. As with the #fediverse, federating multiple independent marketplaces together, allows them to combine their #NetworkEffect, and compete cooperatively (if that makes sense ;)
