Scientific publishing specificially (the topic here) will go on as before. Unlike the other industries you mention, the creators are not paid from the money collected by the publisher. They are paid by their own employers. They get paid the exact same salary whether they put a free PDF of their work on arXiv or get it published behind a paywall.
Scientists have no interest whatsoever in paywalls, except that they want to be published, and historically the companies with the paywalls were the only way to get published.
