to this I would say several things:

a) rules for what makes money and how we go about it change now very quickly

b) making money from our "passion" or "art" can corrupt our original intentions for loving these pastimes (obviously? but not always)

c) if what we love is corrupted by how we make our living, very deep analysis is required.

d) if we can do both make a good living, and do what we love, without internal conflict, I would say GO FOR IT!

What I really mean to say is: It is now possible to consider a new way of life not previously known, and just because it did not pay well the first year or 2, does not mean that situation will continue for those that see their way clear to devote their lives to it. ;-)
