What do you mean? It’s not just a name change, it’s a whole new company with seemingly new owners every time.

I’ve also checked how much it costs to rent there, and they would need to cut over 200 heads per month simply to cover rent. If you throw in a poverty-level salary for a single person, the heads required will triple.

Of course nothing definite, but it sure is a weird cycle.

My town has like 20+ different barbershops within a couple blocks from each other. They only do the most basic mens haircuts, rarely have any customers, cheap, and cash-only. The business usually lasts for a little over a year, and then suddenly they get some new signage… and another barbershop is reborn! All using similar stock image logos as well.

I went to one a couple years back and I had to basically buzzcut myself to be presentable again.

So your assumption is that “lots of people are rich from making art”, and not “many people trying to do art professionally have that opportunity due to their generational wealth”?
