I would argue that the ease of use and sloppier signal to noise ratio, 
however irritating, is insignificant compared to the freedom afforded those 
that actually put something into their work.  This is all necessary.  Those 
that suck will be mocked or ignored and sink.  Those that are good will rise 
and become virulent.  Let natural market forces decide.

And I say again - there is SO much good stuff out there if one bothers to 
look for it.

Such as what?  Finding a patron (or label)?  Graduating from some school or 
other?

No, each must find their own path and make their own milestones.  Or not.

There have always been folk artforms, longer than there have been academic 
or commercial forms.
It's the soup from which all art derives its genesis, not the other way 
around.

Anything that allows art to evolve and propagate on its own merit 
independent of heirarchy or bureaucracy is good in my book.
