> we have youtube stars that make millions each year, and there aren't as few of them as you think The top 0.1% of the world richest, that 7 million people, that´s a lot of people ...

Same thing, the vast majority of app developer don´t make any money. Anyway, why talk about an hypothetical future, why not look at the current world. Since people are currently employed in traditional job and the competition is lower, artists must make an absolute killing, right ? Photographer, Singer, Actor, Music player, Painter, ... surely we must have noticed a massive increase in wealth in those fields and that´s the reason there are so few people going into STEM ?
