That cannot be really compared. There is a far larger number of editors available for this claim to stand. And with the advent of purely digital communication, this will be even less and less true. An author will not need a distributor as such, but merely some service providers for the act of making the cultural product from his own work. That is, mixing and working the sound, typesetting text, and so on. > However, a patron (or equivalent) is not the only possible way to > sustain creative people that contribute to society.
