EVERYTHING goes to fucking shit when a monopoly takes over. When you have big business taking over and the smaller ones sucking their dick.
It's starting to happen in the techno/tech house scene because its getting popular and that equals $$$. Which equals a marketing strategy a exclusivity contract a label contract etc etc.
If you guys don't realize this, you are either blind/naive or haven't been in the scene enough.
Take me back to anything before 2010 please, when EDM was TRUE EDM. Now it's just catchy shit to brainwash the masses and make them spend $$$$

this has been a fact for some time now. And now the game is changing more with that group SLX or whatever their name is. They bought ID&T and Beatport.

Why does anybody care unless edm is your sole source of income and you are jobless as a result. As a consumer, just shut the fuck up and go out and have a good time. That is still possible right?

So you're telling me I should just take all the pills my doctor that got cut money on the back end for prescribing me 23233 pills? And stay zombied out on Norcos and Xanax like a large part of the population in America?
It's basically the same thing you're telling me to do, just in another market.

The vegas megaclubs are also to blame. They have single handedly inflated DJ booking fees all across the globe.

Well people who support "the man" and who would go to the establishments and big events are also to blame in IMO.
Having said that, there is a big world out there and a number of quality options outside the so-called big boys.
