I'll play devil's advocate, these venues kind of have an obligation to have information on the artists they're hosting. How they use (and store) that information to book and host events is another thing, but a good venue doesn't blindly book artists. And when you book a lot, you can't rely on memory.

A venue needs to know if they should expect blowback against the artist and crowd they're hosting as they've an obligation to protect them. You can't have a safe place if you turn a blind eye to the people who might seek to disrupt the show.

Because we're not just witnessing companies pumping stock. Long standing institutions have been dismantled, rights curbed, and whole economies upended.

It's hard to push your government to regulate when the quickest way to a candidate's ear is money. The elective process has been subverted by the very big businesses the government should be regulating here. Every few months we get to see some new Congressional hearing with someone in Tech spouting lies in front of the policymakers whose pockets they line.

They are, you're just not out trying them.

Swear I just saw some fashion campaign with similar popsicles

Word of mouth was likely valued differently than it is by us. We may look down on it, but word of mouth was/is the trusted means of passing on knowledge for many cultures, even when writing was an option. And it can be accurate through the ages.

Aboriginals in Tasmania have oral traditions dating back to when it was connected to Australia. 12,000 years ago. Or oral records of hunting grounds dating back to the Ice Age that are now under water.

Both Achilles and Odysseus have had their own religious devotions through the ages. And whether you believe or not, they're still a bit different than something that was published explicitly as fiction.
