Yes because there were independent labels & magazines promoting things and getting things heard about. And if you go back to my original post I think those things are the first casualties in all this because there's little money in it and because the majors now have such a stranglehold on what gets played.
And just supposing that what you say does work, where are all these great unsigned bands here? I don't see any threads about them. I don't see any people saying 'hey I checked out this great band who's stuff is online here, check it out'. In fact I've only ever seen it happen a handful of times in all the time I've been on this forum and even then the response tends to be minimal.
In theory it might work, in practice it doesn't.
