👋 Welcome to r/InternetEconomics - Introduce Yourself and Read First!

This is a new community for people interested in how internet companies actually make money. Think business models, monetisation, pricing, marketplaces, unit economics, product strategy, growth, and the decisions behind them.

We’re excited to have you here from the start.

What to Post

Anything that helps us better understand how internet businesses work.

That could be:

• a breakdown of how a company makes money
• an interesting pricing or monetisation strategy
• questions about a company’s business model
• examples of unusual revenue streams
• marketplace fees, take rates, subscriptions, ads, or freemium models
• product or growth decisions that have a clear impact on revenue
• useful charts, data, filings, or research

The best posts don’t just say what a company does. They help explain why it works, what the trade-offs are, and what others can learn from it.

Community Vibe

Keep it curious, constructive, and useful.

You don’t need to be an economist or have everything figured out. Good questions are just as welcome as detailed breakdowns. Disagree with ideas, challenge assumptions, and share different perspectives without making it personal.

How to Get Started

1. Introduce yourself in the comments below.
2. Share an internet company whose business model you find interesting.
3. Post a question, breakdown, chart, or observation.
4. If you know someone who would enjoy this kind of discussion, invite them over.

Thanks for being part of the first wave.

Hopefully, r/InternetEconomics becomes the place to go when you want to understand how internet businesses really work and make money.
