Nope. Writers write. Most writing is "economically worthless" — the number of novels that get written every year is astronomical versus the number that make money. If we were to let the market judge the quality of creative works, we'd be culturally fucked.

The writing skills that became worthless for this guy were the ones that weren't worth much to begin with.
