The thing is developers keep making apps, even when the price is so low. I suspect this will be even more true for more traditionally creative activities.

There is enough writing being done for free (in terms of e.g. fanfiction) for a lifetime's reading, if only the recommendation engine was good enough. As movies get cheaper to make it will be the same for those too.

With apps the question is if what is being made is good enough? While there is no shortage of apps being put out there is certainly a lot of developers that have been driven away from the app ecosystem.

You would be crazy these days to bet your future on being a indie app game developer.

So far, the cost of people willing and able to build large, complex systems in teams keeps going up.
