The writing above could be clearer as to what I mean. Here are some different ways of asking the question. (I abbreviate software creator as creator.)
Is the median creator less powerful today…
overall?
relative to the median influencer?
Is the set of all software creators less powerful today…
relative to the set of all influencers?
Since there is variation across industries or products (call them value chains):
For a particular value chain, is a median creator less powerful today relative to a media influencer?
Or maybe we want to ask the question from the POV of an individual:
For a power-seeking individual, would they be better off becoming a creator or an influencer?
