It's really true.

What it really gets to is that there really aren't very good/affordable resources for artists and venues to reach a large audience.

Hiring a local "designer" is often really expensive and you end up with a crappy website that is hard to maintain.

Even using something as "simple" as WordPress can be way too technical for a lot of people.

FB has the benefit of giving them a platform that enables them to quickly connect with their audience.

I see it as a failure of the rest of the internet ecosystem.
