Any sufficiently large 'internet platform' is going to be a corporation. Complete with politicking corporate offices, lawyers, human resources departments, accounting, support staff, etc, etc. 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. Small startups can do things differently but once you become a 'platform' 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.
