Each creative artist has his own method of expressing his ideas (music, art, film, writing, etc.) and may eventually lose interest in one and move on to another. Change is exciting, and is natural to have a crave for it in certain people. That's why a lot of musicians segway into other sectors of the entertainment industry.
If you are one to think an artist is selling out, then do not look at commercial media platforms for discovering artists and support independant artist by helping them continue their passion by them making enough money to be able to do it full-time, to constantly supply you with music. If you want to see more music from an artist you love but fear the possibility of them going "mainstream", then buy the music, subscripe to their membership pages, sign up to their email lists, buy their merchandise, go to their shows, and help spread the word about them. If you are their #1 promoter or a source of bringing them revenue, consider learning about management and work on becoming their manager. Then make sure they avoid all avenues that would cause them to lose their loyal fans that might consider them "sell outs" (even though it can hinder their careers with all the competition).

I just don't think artists sell out. Eventually they may lose creativity, or push albums out with less inspiration and effort than a previous one.
At what point would you consider someone selling out?
