Hard disagree. The thing the internet did was make finding people easier and expanding the *potential* audience.
Better equipment for less money has done way more for letting more people successfully get into making music. Less than 1% of the population plays guitar, iirc.
Influencer has nothing to do with it (been playing since 99 btw) its that some people want to create with others and some dont.
I have toured and satan knows it wasnt to make money :lol:
My “for fun” is in a band to play on stage which also happens to be work haha.

Depends if theres something to mount to over the desk, no? Either way, my point is not everyone is gonna run big or expensive monitors. One of the awesome things about current gen is *they will still sound incredible*.
My ceiling is barely 6ft, “up” is only so available.
I think a decent chunk of people who run modellers probably have/rent an apartment where their gear space is pretty limited and less is better. A pair of 7” monitors is probably overkill in a lot of situations.
