This would apply to many things.
Also Ghost is about to change the game with interoperability—a new feature in beta looks promising for discoverability. Migrating isn’t so hard. And audiences should not be platform dependent unless you own the platform. If they don’t like you, you could get the boot any moment, and you’re screwed.

Trump Is Engineering a Global ‘Paradigm Shift.’ It Doesn’t Favor U.S. Stocks.
President Trump’s economic policies are forcing other countries to wean themselves from a dependence on exports. U.S. investors should consider the implications.
