This is expected and falls under the Pareto distribution. All human creative endeavors follow this distribution (movies/ tv shows/ music) at different scales. Even some weird ones like most commonly used words follow this. Jordan Peterson has an excellent lecture on describing this phenomenon. ▶ this video
Actually, the poverty level doesn't continue to rise, it's been stable around 13.5% for the last 30 years. The reason why it stays that way instead of shrinking is probably related to the Pareto distribution problem. ▶ this video
What she didn't realize what she ended up demonstrating was the reality of pareto distributions. Dr. Jordan Peterson does a good detailing of this phenomenon. ▶ this video
