Hasn't this become true to some extent, though? We have a nontrivial amount of people making a living off their YouTube channel, or their Twitch streams, or their Patreon patrons, or Kickstarter, that didn't have access to a global audience 10 or 20 years ago.
Even I had moderate success developing videogames in the early 2000s that were definitely part of the long tail; my CG book and my multiplayer articles have found a global if very niche audience. Some of my other projects, like the novel or the movie, haven't, but it's more about their quality and my marketing skills than about not having access.
