@oblomov @NIGHTEN that would be a super interesting study yes. i do think there is a lot of fake dependency there. It's the typical LinkedIn example like it can be a social obligation for some practices (obviously not artists) to be on it while they won't get any actual job opportunities from it. But the few gossipy data i got from friends are like: tatoo artist, DJ or bands within certain scenes, performance artists like dancers are particularly dependent of the fast-paced story-2-lineup-booking pipeline. I think practices that are less "booking for singular events" like graphic design or digital art or whatever are maybe slightly easier to emancipate of those platform?

@oblomov @NIGHTEN @doriane That's what I gathered as well considering performance artists (like drag or burlesque) However I'm pretty sure I made more money for a graphic artist when I purchased their prints at a fair IRL than thousands of their broke teenage followers (I'm exaggerating things but you catch my drift) Edit : because art is an expensive commodity. It's not enough that many people see what one does, one only needs somewhat "rich" people to see it.
