If Nike isn't able to bombard millions of people with a picture of a shoe without shelling out some money, no one ought to care besides Nike. But smaller places and people will see their ability to self-promote basically zeroed out. The fans they've attracted will be pushed behind a curtain, only to be pulled back now and then when cash is on hand. If you've spent years trying to build up a following for yourself, this is a bummer—maybe a career-altering bummer.
