Maybe the title should have been "Marx was right". The article mentions this theory: <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immiseration_thesis" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immiseration_thesis</a><p>This sounds very familiar:
"Marx argued that, in accordance with the labour theory of value, capitalist competition would necessitate the gradual replacement of workers with machines, allowing an increase in productivity, but with less overall value for each product produced, as more products can be made in a given amount of time, meaning that economic output would increase, but real wages would stay stable, because the input of human labour stays the same".
