Good point. There was a reason the "gatekeepers" came into being in the first place. That's probably going to morph into the reviewers, who'll soon find themselves inundated with the same crap that used to land on editors' and agents' desks.
I wonder if the "new boss" will become the "old boss" (ie: can reviewers find a way to "ethically" make money by offering reviews?). Perhaps a subscription thing...?
