It's great right now, big budget productions for free. What happens though when enough people creating the content can't make the economic model work no more?

It's great right now, big budget productions for free. What happens though when enough people creating the content can't make the economic model work no more? I think the result will be drastically lower budgets to the point where someone can make a dollar selling the content for a dollar or putting ads around/before it online. It's just a matter of whether we can accept that, it may be a good thing? The budget models for movies right now does seem to be a bit out of whack.
