Is freelance video editing getting too saturated? (alien.top)

What I used to see two years back has completely changed. People becoming freelance video editors have exponentially gone high, making it hard for newcomers. Clients have a lot of choices to choose from.
For anyone who knows, what could be some newer fields to get into before it gets too saturated?

I used to be one of the top AVID freelancers and online editors in my city. I was working 7 days a week and many times I was so busy I would double shift (2 edit shifts in 1 day). Now, I’m essentially too expensive and my work is all NDA-guarded. I have chats with lots of potential new clients but they’ve basically generated nothing for the past few years. Even with high level credits and 25 years in postproduction. So I’m a living example of what you’re discovering!
