Not a corporation, but I've certainly seen that reaction to any number of subreddits getting shut down.

Right, but that's not analogous to a media company going out of business. Nobody deplatformed Jezebel. Credit card companies, web hosting services, nobody refused to do business with Jezebel. There just weren't enough consumers of their content to make it profitable.

That's not the same situation as an otherwise successful outlet being deplatformed or cut off from commercial services.

A subreddit being shutdown is not even barely related to a company going out of business. The reactions should be very different.
