I doubt it, those are the same group of people anyway.

Orders of magnitude more people are using LLMs to brainstorm or generate content for them, which they are then using to solve their own problems and carry on with their life, increasingly solving many more problems for themselves this way, and not publishing any of it.

The world isn't made of "content creators" flinging crap around in hopes of monetizing it. Most people have actual jobs.
