Under the conditions of the network economy, some basic principles and concepts of Western economics have undergone revolutionary changes. This article sorts out and reviews how consumers' marginal utility changes under the network economy. Focus on the two major issues of the emergence of marginal consumer increase in the network economy and whether the law of diminishing marginal utility still exists.
