I think it really IS up to us.
The good news is that in the 1940s people exactly like us created an entirely new music industry from scratch and others pretty much repeated the process during the early '70s. Common sense goes a long way. Just as in performance, there are also no short-cuts to creating real eyeball to eyeball relationships between artists and their audiences.
