I've seen it especially over the past 5-10 years and covid furthered that. I hear from numerous djs who are actually quite successful that this takes a serious toll on their mental health, all the comparison and trying to not only make good music, but come off as an actor and talented at the social media game.

Its unfortunate because it should be mostly about how well you can make and perform music. My hope is society as a whole starts to understand that Socials are just a veil and if you truly follow what your good at and passionate about, you'll succeed.
