I've seen businesses tank because of search algo changes long before this. I see it as something similar to reliance on a third party API - you have to be prepared for the rug to be pulled on you at any time. This is why it makes me anxious when I talk to small business owners who have been obsessing over SEO and even paying large sums to SEO firms. It's such shaky ground.
