What are some examples? If you’re referring to app platforms I think the answer is simple: Don’t build a business on another company’s platform if they have a terrible reputation and a history of screwing businesses like yours. The other thing to consider with platforms is incentives. Platforms where your company doesn’t improve their bottom line won’t care about screwing you. So Shopify and their partners have mutual interests (both increasing shop’s profits), but Google doesn’t with its plugins and browser extensions. Facebook apps didn’t make Facebook more money so they had no problem getting rid of them and destroying businesses.
