FWIW if the vast majority of your revenue comes from a single source that actively competes with you it can be a hard business model to sustain. When revenue starts declining then you're living with a situation where things are getting worse day by day. I think Moz is/has been dealing with it fairly well. It's forced them to confront the need to diversify their revenue streams. Now when that happens people will look at the choices being made around how to fix the situation and disagree vehemently. People with extensive tenure are let go due to cost and a belief that the company needs people with different skills, that erodes social networks, and other people who were not let go decide to leave. In other large/largish companies that have gone through boom and bust cycles I've seen this same pattern play out. During growth periods people laud leadership choices and during contraction and turn around people say "there's something fundamentally wrong here." So not saying you're wrong, just that this reality is not unexpected or unusual.
