Instead of wasting my time going through everything you wrote, I am going to point out one simple thing you said in your other post that makes everything you said irrelevant.

Tons of bands tour all the time

All the time as in once a year for a week? Two weeks? Define all the time. Obviously if I work a day job and save up I can to fucking Disneyland if I want to, but I can't go to Disneyland for two months straight and then go back two weeks later for another month or two.

Your situation is not the same. Do you think any of these bands that "forms with the intention of making a living off the music" just woke up one day and were able to support themselves without day jobs? Thank you captain obvious.

Your point was that the entire industy was not driven by money. I don't want to take away from what you are doing, I don't know what bands you are/were in and I would never disrespect someone who is doing what makes them happy, but people like you are not the industry. I can form a band tomorrow and go on tour if I want to, that doesn't mean a thing.

The industry IS driven by money. If it wasn't, you wouldn't need a day job to go on tour. It's as simple as that. Without money, you can do nothing. I don't care how you got it. Being an industry, that implies it is a business, and at the end of the day, business means money. Someone needs to make it to survive. If you're cool with putting out your own music and taking a loss or maybe break even, that's cool. Good for you, and I am sincere about that. But you're in the minority when it comes to the music industry, and that's all there is to it.
