I would point out that I mentioned I ran a club before. The venue is the issue. It’s very hard to find somewhere we can use for free. I’m working on getting my garage set up to be able to host, but I don’t really want to open up my house to the public and it’s small anyway. I’m very aware of how to do it, it’s just not practical.

Exactly. You are limiting your ability to make things happen if you insist on making it free. If you just charge a fee, you can use it to pay a venue to host you.

Exactly. And then we are back to the original issue of where the scene is already at. If you insist on charging money people have an excuse to not go. If it’s free people can just come to try it out. There’s a reason this problem has not been solved yet.

Not just an excuse, outright not being able to afford to

You’re missing the whole point. Everything has to be about money

Yes, more or less everything involves money. This is like when someone says “ugh, X isn’t political”, and then someone else points out that no, everything is political. If you want something that can’t just be picked up off the ground, then someone, somewhere is paying for it, in some way.
