We all know what "have a show in Chelsea" looks like today. The distribution model changed radically, but the personal drivers didn't. Surprisingly, the rise of new platforms only temporarily affected the old way's economics if you look at the number of photobooks published in the Netherlands. Until the first peak in 2005, these increased linearly, plateaued until 2012, and reached a new peak in 2017. While the supply of digital photography expanded, apparently so did the supply of physical photography books.

I don't. Care to elaborate?

I think they are referring to Instagram, twitter, etc for showing off art.
