What factors determine network value?

I didn't find specific clips on the factors determining network value.

However, I can share that network value is commonly influenced by several key factors:

1. Number of Users: Larger networks generally have higher value due to Metcalfe's Law, which states that the value of a network is proportional to the square of its number of users.
2. Network Effects: Stronger network effects can make a network more valuable as increased usage by any user can enhance the value for other users.
3. Quality of Connections: The value also depends on the quality and strength of the relationships or connections within the network.
4. Usage Frequency: More frequent usage can indicate higher engagement and therefore greater value.
5. Diversity of Services: Offering a variety of services or functionalities can increase a network's value by meeting more user needs.
6. Monetization Potential: The ability to generate revenue, either through ads, subscriptions, or other means, is crucial.
7. Security and Trust: Networks perceived as secure and trustworthy can attract and retain more users, increasing their value.
