diminishing returns

Remember Geoff and Steve the two professional meteor hunters who scoured the earth searching for rare and valuable meteors from space on the American TV show Meteor Men from 2009 to 2012? It occurred to me recently that perhaps the show concluded it's run on TV because the efforts the guys spent looking for Meteorites and the publicity their valuable finds generated caused diminishing returns on the number of valuable stones and minerals strung and scattered across the surface of the planet.
It's the same thing with Egyptian treasures buried by our ancestors, TV ghost hunters, dinosaur bones and people looking for lost pictures of Jessie James or Rommel's buried fortunes.
Every service anyone can need now has generated a startup company to walk your dog, deliver your groceries or have a guy on a bike bring you burger king whoopers and fries to your back door on a Tuesday night for a small extra fee.
How will the next generation make their fortunes and get a start in life?
