I agree it is huge, because it has developed so recently so fast, but every individual is just a diminishing ever smaller part of that "huge".
For most of the oldtimers, they were first in and are getting first served. There is a mass movement into "photography", and the space for each new person is getting ever smaller.
The sky is not falling at all, it is just getting more crowded. A bit of lateral thinking is needed, adapt to survive.
Visionaries maybe, but most, especially younger newcomers, it is a reality of too few dollars in the pocket.

Rolf:
Here's the problem; we keep hearing visionaries and philosophers tell us this and yet, it's still
happening.
The stock photo business remains huge, the fine art photo business - which literally does
exactly what you describe - is setting records and there is little sign that this is changing.
Is the sky really falling?
