The greatest supply of issues is lack of economic safety (45%). Second is lack of assist (42%), adopted by the impact it has on relationships (25%). Skiddle hosted a two-day panel to handle these findings in addition to determine methods to repair this.

During the panel, they mentioned the harms of social media and highlighted how it's obligatory for music promoters but additionally positively a contributing issue to the above statistics. Another matter was the rivalry and aggressive nature of the enterprise. They additionally talked about not understanding who to belief.
