the other consequence of something like pitchfork becoming a shell of itself is that it means that the live music sphere will be increasingly filled of algorithm and tiktok music, which means even more homogeneity than there is (see also: every festival lineup this year)

my hot take is that it feels ppl online are missing the point in being like “boohoo if ur complaining abt making tiktoks, try having a full-time job.” i think the point is musicians signed up to make music, not be influencers. so quickly ppl are willing to not see music as labor.
