Fascinating example: When costs increase on one side of market, platforms often *lower* prices on the other side - opposite of what happens in regular markets. Shows complexity of balancing both sides!

When dating sites were forced to charge same price to men/women (to prevent discrimination), it reduced overall consumer benefits by 55%. Shows why treating two-sided markets like regular markets is problematic.

Lab experiment shows platforms often charge below cost on one side of market - not predatory pricing, but optimal strategy to grow network effects. Forcing prices above cost hurts both sides.
