Isn't that true of any kind of business? I knew a guy who launched a second career as a baker. He told me that when a bakery is really great, some big corporation comes along and buys it - but the corporation then tries to squeeze more money out of the business by using cheaper ingredients, and pretty soon there is no longer anything "great" about it.
