How was getting signed to a label, even an indie one, any easier? At least now it's all up to you creating something people want instead of convincing a gatekeeper you're worthy.

Getting signed to a label seems easier to me. An indie label isn't hard to get your music in front of and if it's good they'll sign you and you can focus on the thing you do well while they promote you. Remove the label and you need to be a good musician, marketer, promoter, you need to make lots of connections a label would have already had access to etc.
