Thinking about platforms as Amazon, Uber or Facebook I'm wondering if we can find similar dynamics in nature.
Parasites feed on top of bigger organisms but nothing comes to mind about organisms which create or facilitate and ecosystem and then control it and feed on it.
It would be a powerful analogy.
Thanks!

that's a good one thanks!
One aspect which does not fit too much it the fact that the farmer cuts the plants to eat them and the rancher kills the animals.
Uber or Airbnb don't kill the users, they keep them alive and extract a part of the value created.
I think I got it thanks to you tough: milking cows.
