My suspicion is more the economy TBH. (AI art is bad but I can't imagine it's truly the thing that's taking so much money away.) I'm still puzzling/stressing over why the live holiday show I'm producing has sold significantly fewer tickets than every other year & most of our normal monthly shows.

Social media reach has also been chopped off at the root. The only live shows I've heard anything about have been from artists' email newsletters and such, and Facebook just smugly tells me "reach is down 16% this week" when I'm not doing anything different. And of course the whole Twitter thing.
