I'm a bit in the middle of everything with my opinion here, as it looks ATM it's still possible to make a living with just gallery submitting, but I agree that autosubmitting 5 galleries a day isn't the way to do it, you'd still have to work hard, make great galleries and built relationships to gain partner accounts. But it was like that since ever, the only thing that has changed is that you now have the opinion to just go ahead and buy your way into the gallery submitting biz with spots/partner accounts.
So IMHO that made it only easier for those people that have some $$$ to invest, and made the entire thing a bit harder for complete newbies.
But in the end I still see gallery submitting as one of the best chances for a newbie to start, you have next to no upfront costs, and you can and have to learn a lot when you want to make money. So there's next to no risk, and when you've mastered to make a living with gallery submitting you've learned a lot which makes your future live as an adult webmaster a lot easier, and future investments a lot more secure.
