Imagine someone comes up with a better funding model for online content creators. At first glance it seems like it should make creators better off. But there's a basic econ argument saying that won't happen, or will happen to a much smaller extent, because online content creation is an industry with free entry and exit. If you pour more money, more people will enter, until it equilibrates with other industries again: the total money+popularity+fun someone can get as a content creator becomes equal to the money+popularity+fun the same person can get in their next best occupation. In short, their livelihood won't improve much. Could even get worse, if the new funding model attracts even more people by publicizing its successes more than failures.
That's not to say a better funding model won't have any effect. It will certainly increase the total amount of content. But we don't have a shortage of content now, we have a glut, and adding more will only make it harder to stand out. So why do content creators call for better funding models? What am I missing?
