Commodity vs matching markets distinction
Commodity markets (like the NYSE or Chicago Board of Trade) standardize goods so participants deal anonymously and prices do all the work, whereas matching markets (labor, marriage, podcasts) require you to be chosen as well as to choose, so prices don't do all the work and you care who you deal with.
