This article makes the case for the prediction we read in the title, but it has more value as a takedown of the publishing industry in general. "The text, notably, is not all that relevant. Publishing is all about leverage and social status... As a leftist (i.e., someone who truly understands sociology and economics) you will be inadmissible into most institutions no matter how much you excel." There's a lot more (and I've cherrypicked the bits that apply to me) but the main message here is that "traditional publishing is not only aware of its impending cultural obsolescence, but actively planning it."
