I'd point to fan fiction as a possible outcome. Most writers are never recognized, and they don't seem to be phased by that outcome.
They write for themselves and develop a niche that they are happy to contribute to.
Just because the cost of writing and publishing has plummeted doesn't mean it's less valuable, it's development becomes either decentralized or internalized.
UBI might give people the opportunity to explore their interests but ultimately wouldn't you end up in the same place? Torn between a desire to make "art" which suddenly everyone else is also trying to make and follow their passion, or get paid substantially more for UI Development?
