Yes I agree.
This is in part due to the instant fix generation though.

You get promoters who try to start too big because they want instant success and huge parties, rather than building a fan base from ground up.
This does cause a lot of stress both for big acts who maybe don`t get paid (or smaller acts) for their work, and causes promoters who maybe intend well to give up hope when really they just didn`t think clearly.

Same with production, too many guys have fruity loops for a year and bang out a tune or start a label thinking they are a pro, rather than actually listening and learning and putting in the time to get to a standard.
Thus we have a billion labels on juno now half of which sound like amateur rubbish and don`t do any favours for the music as a whole.

There seems to be little patience or commitment to hard work a lot of the time in these problems.
