In-person performances have always been the biggest moneymaker for the creators themselves. Media companies aren't robbing artists as much as they did in the 20th century, but streaming, even if done on one's own, can provide only so much. "Don't Let The Record Label Take You Out To Lunch" is a great song by Jeffrey Lewis and it remains relevant even today.

Of course, once holograms catch up to online deep fake technology, "in-person" will be irrelevant too. Entertainers will eventually become a commodity and once we're all looking for food and water, entertainers will return to the days of the troubadour, busking for change from those who are producing tangible goods. :)
