The problem with such venues is that they are also difficult to find. The major problem is that you need to know of them to even find out what's going on. They are on Instagram, facebook, and other social media, but if I go to a city and search for shows, the majority of venues won't be found. Sometimes it's a choice to stay cool, hip, underground, or whatever, but if so, they can't complain about falling revenue.

What I especially don't understand is why these venues aren't on opensource stuff:

• Mobilizon for organising events
• Mastodon in addition / instead of xittter
• Pixelfed in addition to / instead of insta
• FunkWhale for uploading audio recordings of live sets
• Peertube for video recordings of performances
• OpenStreetMaps to find the venue on the map

All of this would make it easier for them to be found, interact with them, and even support them.
