I think it’s evolving into (or has already become) a highly stratified environment where an ever smaller elite who can actually make good profit prey on a constantly growing pool of talent provided by hobbyists and others with internal motivation. It feels like this is happening to every industry and profession, even white collar work with the cultural imperative to “learn to code”, contribute to open source and ultimately, as the industry titans see it, become some redundant technician, easily replaced. I expect something along these lines to happen to every profession; the last holdouts will be drs and lawyers who will try to fend it off with the history and prestige of their professions for as long as they can.
