Let's not ignore the economy where the agent is the buyer.
Video editing and website design being the example here. If the video is an ad, or the website is a sales site, if an agent is a buyer these change considerably. That is an entirely new economy, similar to how we did not understand the knowledge economy until it was fairly well developed in the mid 1900s (someone smarter than me might have better info here).
I have no doubt the economy will change, but we as humans operating in the world will still have needs that need to be met.
In addition, with a shrinking population in all developed nations, we may well still have a shortage of workers in 30 years, not an oversupply.

This explains why large scale unemployment is not preferable even for capitalists. But this is well known and the policies are usually made to prevent it.
