Just the opposite. Authors can get published much more easily these days and have access to a much wider audience by uploading to a big website. And unless you want to go back a few centuries (when great musicians and other artists had been in the pay of or recieved orders from dukes and kings) the geniuses never were the ones that rake in the big bucks. Look at the state of classical music today. Great performers, but where are the new genius composers? The price you pay for liberty and equality. It easier for new authors. But these genius authors are the few that write for the few. My guess is the majority of the population wouldn't even care if there will be no more geniuses.
