I guess this is a "normal" reaction of a crowded market. Everybody wants to earn money and tries what works best. Many musicians have quite similar problems: They can play for free or some other band which is even more desperate to get a gig will play. I personally try to keep away from priceless markets (though being a musician too). The only way I know to handle this is delivering the best quality I can and finding customers who want/appreciate this.
