- people are broke out here in 2023
- fans get access to artists in a variety of ways for free already (video sites, streamers, social media, etc.)
- promoters/managers are trying to book these artists in venues larger than they probably should
- fans will just probably opt to see them at a festival with a lineup of 25 other artists
- a lot of these artists are not worth going to a concert for on their own AKA they are shytty live performers

@ the thought of Lil Durk selling out the Barclays Center. These promoters and artists think they're slick...trying to hustle the people.
