Now that I have your attention (I realize it's actually spelled locus, that was on purpose), after reading TMF , for those of you guys who are in ecommerce using platforms like Shopify/Amazon/Ebay as your storefront, what actions did you take when you relized your revenue was in control of another company?

Basically, did you find ways to spread out and mitigate the risks, or did you choose another fastlane road where you're in control of the product and the distribution system?
