Digital platforms will eventually collapse because they are trying to extract more effort than the human body is biologically capable of recovering.

A hard mathematical threshold exists where the amount of labor a platform demands exceeds a human's biological recovery time. When a system pushes past this limit, it triggers an endogenous structural collapse that no market fix can stop. We usually think of platform failure as a business problem or a loss of users to a competitor. This model suggests that the limits of the human body are the actual hard wall for the digital economy. If an app extracts too much, the entire system eventually breaks down at a biological level.
