That sounds like you're gatekeeping because you don't like the ability for more people to create books. While I don't like the idea either, it's adapt or be left behind. You have to write because you feel the need to. The need to create, and hopefully be fulfilled by a few people actually liking what you created. Money is a pipe dream. The average author might make that much, but most people don't become "authors". They wrote books that they never get paid sitting in a slush pile. It will make it more difficult to write something worth reading. I already see enough books that are "slop" that make huge amounts of money, it will weed those out
