Are entertainment industry conventions just interested in making money off of the fans?

Question by the who: Are entertainment industry conventions just interested in making money off of the fans?
You’ve heard of star wars conventions, horror movie conventions, etc. Where the actors/directors, etc are there and sell pics of themselves/autographs and other pics. I used to think these events were celebratory of the art, etc, but are they really just to make money? Is there any point in going?

You’ve answered your own question. Yes, the entertainment industry is out to make money. The people who go to cons are largely there to buy and sell things, although various panels, events, cosplay, etc. can make it worthwhile.

Depends on how much you can tolerate crowds, and how much you enjoy being around sweaty, obese people with no social skills.
