It is a perfectly valid point, which is why traditional media channels still continue to exist and thrive when they realize that their primary role is basically as a quality filter rather than the sole source of distribution.
I've heard it argued that this is why certain forms of traditional media -- like the newspaper -- however, just cannot seem to survive, since the newspaper doesn't provide a qualtiy filter, but rather thrived on being well... the sole source of the news.
