Any sufficiently large &#x27;internet platform&#x27; is going to be a corporation. Complete with politicking corporate offices, lawyers, human resources departments, accounting, support staff, etc, etc.<p>While there are some differences in culture the basic model is not much different then any other industry that relies on skilled labour or engineers to produce a product.<p>Small startups can do things differently but once you become a &#x27;platform&#x27; with millions of dollars changing hands investors and public stock there is an entirely different set of logistical and legal components that have to be taken care of.
