I guess that the example I picked was too good for its own good. I'm going to fork my comment, so that this thread is dedicated to that bad example, with a new thread for the rest of my points.

I'll rephrase:

My Little Pony is also big business. A lot of people like My Little Pony, also watch My Little Pony online. Does that mean wikia is going to try to force My Little Pony as a vital part of the wikia experience?

Most business are not going to force My Little Pony into their business model just because it makes a lot of money.

The fact that something makes a lot of money is not justification unto itself for forcing it into a business model.

Obviously, some businesses will. Costume shops will probably start stocking My Little Pony outfits. Pop culture stores all over the world probably started stocking My Little Pony paraphernalia once it became popular.
