Well, y'know it didn't start out to

I was ready to jump for the nearest airlock, too, but as we've managed to keep our matter and antimatter streams well-balanced, I was prepared to stick around for the ride.
The promotion thing is key. If you don't figure out promo, you'll never be noticed in the vast web.
Maybe publishers would essentially become promotion houses for artists (like me, who don't need them for anything else)... but they'd have a hard time convincing artists that they offered more than, say, Google, or some other web populating service. For an industry to change so drastically from their original focus would doubtless be an ugly process, but stranger things have happened.
