It's not quite that bad, but our standards of success have changed.
If your garage band threw a couple concerts and across them got and attendance of 1000 people that would have been a smashing success.
Put your music on youtube and get 1000 listeners and it's a failure.
- meheleventyone 5y agoThat’s because 1000 listeners versus 1000 attendees isn’t really a like for like comparison. Getting people to come and see a band live involves a whole lot more effort on the audiences part. Similarly live performances are worth much more than listening to recorded performances. I actually agree with the 100/1000 true fans essays it’s just the realities of platform capitalism means most creative people capable of such an audience will never be discovered by it.
