I read a fantastic article fifteen years ago or so which I am certain I can never find again. It made this exact argument about pornography: pointing out that while there's more pornography being made than ever before, the ability to make a living from it has disappeared. Once upon a time you could make good money from performing. Nowadays, those who are making a living from pornography are either a few lucky performers who made it to the very top, or those who don't perform but are the managers and gatekeepers of the industry.

What made the article stick in my mind is that it predicted that the same would happen to other industries. It posited opinion-journalism and music as the next places where this would happen, one of which seems to only kind of have happened and one of which is the point you make here.

I wonder which other industries it'll happen to next?
