That $$$$ means that the events that won't book them tend to be nonprofits.
And post-COVID, nonprofit events of all sizes are dying out. From massive burnout-related volunteer losses, yes, but more than that something in the *culture* of cons was lost in the turnover to this generation of fans.

The current attendee crowd for fan events is deeply entitled and critical.
It is exhausting.
I won't volunteer for fan focused events anymore because of it (vs industry focussed). I know other lifetime volunteers who feel similarly.
