Observing how convention lines are now for SELFIES with actors, not for comic artists. One side says it's EVOLUTION, the other DECAY. What's your verdict?

Adapt to the crowd flow if you want visibility. Use that actor line traffic to direct attention back to the artists' alley.

Have you ever tried this and found it actually works against you? In my experience, adapting to crowd flow is smart, but it assumes a consistent pattern. Your mileage may vary, especially at larger cons where traffic gets bottlenecked near celebrity guests. Directing attention back to artists' alley sounds good in theory, but you need clear signage or something interactive to pull people from those lines. Take this with a grain of salt, but I've seen artists waste time positioning based on flow that suddenly changes after a panel lets out. It's a solid starting point, but always have a backup plan for when the expected traffic doesn't materialize.
