Anyone know why this mega company is leaving the big G - is this the start of the backlash against all the algorthim updates made by Google?

Companies leave networks all the time for various reasons. Sometimes they're moving elsewhere, sometimes they're leaving affiliate marketing. I very much doubt it has anything to do with the natural search results or any kind of protest against them.

Probably because Google don't have to put up with things that other networks have to - like brand name merchants not paying on time or cancelling sales for dubious reasons.

So more likely they cancelled because they got the hard word or 'f**k off tablet' as they say in South Yorkshire.
