I agree that it can be painful, but there are parallels that can be drawn. Dick's Sporting Goods just stopped selling certain kinds of guns. Those gun manufacturers can still sell their guns, but just not at Dick's, so they're losing part of their potential audience.
There was a story a month or two ago about a publisher that went out of business because their whole business model (apparently) revolved around pushing their content on Facebook and then Facebook changed their newsfeed algorithm. I think that's a risk for anyone relying on a given channel for their product.
