Look at bittorrent. While it's impossible to kill it, targeting agregation platforms definitely made the protocol immensely less relevant than it was 20 years ago.

BitTorrent made itself less relevant by relying on end to end networking and symmetrical links, neither of which panned out.

Such as? The Pirate Bay still exists as do thousands of other websites listing torrents.

BitTorrent traffic went down as streaming services increased.
