Abstract

This article discusses the new marketing model of e-commerce platforms in the Internet age. Merchants use e-commerce platforms as marketing methods to make profits. Customers, as Internet users, when they enjoy the benefits brought by e-commerce platforms, algorithms and data are controlling their thought and action.
