According to Google,at the moment its aware of 8+ billion pages.

A few years ago there was only 1 billion pages.

The number of websites/pages is rising constantly.

The number of webmasters coming to the market is rising as well.

Of course,some older webmasters are leaving the market however i think that there is still a positive balance between leaving/arriving webmasters.

What you think,can it be that the market is overcrowded from the point of money/people?

If tendencies continue,is it possible that there will be 10x more webmasters but average webmaster will be making 10x less money?

I guess the number of websites is growing faster than a number of internet users.

In many ways, it's easier to make a new website than a new Internet user. :)

The question to ask is how are the new web sites canabolizing the revenue/visitors of existing sites? People with existing, good quality sites probably don't have much to worry about. Most of the new ones springing up can't compete, at least not in the long-term.

Also, websites are not an industry to themselves, but rather a huge collection of every conceivable industry, idea, hobby, and field. New ideas, industries, hobbies, and fields come into being all the time, so it's not exactly a closed system with a zero-sum result.

My opinion is that things are still growing and will continue to for a long time.
