Plenty of mom and pop shops and 1 man websites that everyone should support.
Yes, of course, good distinction. I had stock market companies in mind.
I go out of my way to support the small websites. If there is an app I want to download, I check out their site first to see if I can buy from there so they can save on the crazy fees google charges
