I kind of wonder if there will be more or less. Maybe more doing it for fun but less over all?
I watch a few DJs on Twitch. They seem like they are having fun but I'm pretty confident many of them would stop if there was no money in it. Maybe after they don't need the money they'd still do it. They need the money now and it's a fun way to get it.
Similarly, I watch Veritasium and Kurzgestat. They both put lots of work in with teams of people. I think they both enjoy it, but some of that enjoyment comes from "making a living at it". If that disappeared, if they didn't need the living from it I wonder if they'd continue.
