There have been advertisements on frum websites for concerts (men only performers) but where they offer mixed gender (aka “family”) seating along with men only/women only seating. None of these sites would knowingly or deliberately post ads for activities that are explicitly “assur” by the majority of frum rabbonim. We have always acknowledged here that one person’s chumrah may be another’s kulah. Obviously, just being here on YWN means that we are violating the directives of many gadolei hador (as manifest in a gazillion asifahs) that the internet and social media are assur m’doraisah. Rav Miller’s position 25 years ago is what it is and some will choose to follow the general inyan that Jews don’t come together just to enjoy music. I suspect many YWN participants don’t hold by Rav Miller but no reason they have to.
