What does self-publishing do to the editing process? My suspicion is that it's mostly a negative impact. I've downloaded a lot of self-published things from the Kindle store, and a lot of it is pretty bad. (Certainly, not all of it, of course.) There's something to be said for having some kind of gatekeeper that's willing to say no to bad writing.
I guess my question is, is this going to have a bad impact on the signal to noise ratio? It's not an issue for established writers, of course, but it makes a difference to newcomers.
