To answer your questions, I think it is a matter of accessibility that's the only thing that the digital era does, it put's information in front of people easy ( a touch away), this is the reason you see so much engagement with it.
As for killing art forms I don't think the digital era does that, it offers new mediums of expression and exposure.
Narration and storytelling will never die, artists may choose to do it differently these days and choose different subjects, and even regional art styles have more chance of being known by masses everywhere with the help of digital era.
The only thing that has changed is the place where an audience gathers, street artists and performers may be ignored by
hundreds pedestrians that pass by, but they can reach thousands on youtube, traditional galleries and theaters may loose visitors but they can adapt and give exposure to arts on the internet.
I probably would have never heard about this beautiful art form that you have shared in this post, if not for this digital era that we are lucky to live in.
And I would have never met you, and I am very grateful for that :*

@alexandravart what a nice answer. Totally love how expressed our present reality. That is why i use steemit to help such artist. These crafts are loosing significance because many of the artist are illiterate , they do not know the world of youtube that is why we need to take this initiative on their behalf. I hope my content helps my cause.
Well said!
