Is the mindset of automatically dismissing authors and books which are self-published (or even works from small publishers) and aggressively marketed at a grass-roots level, a valid way of cutting through the noise? I feel guilty for doing it, but one has to be able to filter somehow.

NO. If you out of hand dismiss all these new/unpublished authors, you will miss out on some real treasures.
You need to at least look at one post, or review the book description to see if it might be worthwhile. Obviously, most will be "nevermind" but trust me....there are jewels out there.
Thats the neat thing about this site. Ebooks are usually offered at killer prices....or free.
