As for publishers...
Are they really gatekeepers attempting to weed out the dreck? Do they simply look for dreck that will make the largest profit?

I've seen a number of complaints that the publishers have cut back on editors. That the editor's of old, those who worked diligently to polish the gem created by the author, were seen as an unnecessary expense.
Truth and the reason the publishing industry is crashing (quite independently of ebooks). They don't care about the core of their business, they are only focused on the bottom line and return on investment.
