having fans in general is a good reward. And a lot of bands got signed right away during the grunge days, simply for being part of the "seattle" scene.
I don't understand why you feel the need to defend you favorite bands so much, can't you enjoy their music without thinking of them as knights in shining armor against the corruption that is the music industry.
The only band i can think of off the top of my head that has had good success without signing to a major label is fugazi.
