It's just a trend I've noticed due to more piracy, ad-supported content, AI-generated art, free content and/or publishers taking bigger cuts. Obviously people still pay artists and will continue to do so but I don't see a future where artists make nearly as much as they did before. That's OK if we don't treat art as a commodity, if we have UBI or something similar and if we can access enough free art.
