The network effect is the least sympathetic business moat to run up against, because it's saying "you are way too popular" and nothing else.
Very different from talking about restaurants or stores where you have geographic control, which is a far more odious form of monopoly (competition is restricted because the customers cannot reach competitors). Very different from talking about how Yelp owns the underlying infrastructure (roads, the web, etc.) that makes their business possible.
