Even if they add a lot collectively, it's logical to pay individuals according to their individual impact. Collectively they still get more (just not as much more as when they were being subsidised). However, in the long-run the challenge is enabling the transition from small to big. Doing one without the other would be quite short-term thinking from YouTube - they would massively disincentivise the new users who become next year's big channels. I haven't seen many platforms both care and execute on this.
