Its unlikely that would be enough to offset the scale of disruption that will be occurring with automation. With ever creative or content industry we have so far (wether it will be with actors, app stores, youtube celebrities) a similar pattern always emerges.
At the top, you have often less than 1% becoming wildly successful, making hundreds of thousands to millions each year.
Below that you have maybe 5-10% who are able to make a living at it, but will not pull any spectacular numbers.
After that, you have everyone else. These are people who's apps are rarely downloaded, who have less than a few thousand views on any video they put up, or actors who are out of work most of the time. These section may pull in some revenue, but not enough to survive on. At best its a side job, at least until their main job goes away.
At the core of all this, is that we don't have enough time to consume all the media that is produced. We often end up letting other curate the content that we consume. Whether it be media companies or friends and family. But it tends to create self reinforcing cycles, driving more attention to the hits and less to everything else.
This is a power law distribution, and it's very common in human-created (artificial) measurements. It's difficult to avoid this situation without introducing unforeseen consequences.
