And many will do it. But by playing for free, they are contributing to the demise of a situation that was already an issue (in a cutthroat community) and is now going to be a bigger one. As hard as the fight has been to get paid, this has blown that all up.

Owners will just reduce the amount they pay for performers, which is already ridiculously low. Plus, once you perform for half price or a third of the price, that's your worth. Why would anyone else pay more down the line?
I'd advise anyone and everyone to stop this Race To The Bottom.
