Any place that actually attempts to review things or recommend them or sort them has to contend with this wave of new low-value content. I suspect the easiest/most cost-effective way to make it so it doesn't overwhelm users is something that looks a lot like Toy Story 5 or Shrek 16 -- platforms just go with what they know works.
Sure, Toy Story has the best of the best working for them, but the new ideas, the next Toy Story, I don't think it's going to be so easy for that person to break in.
And as for social media, where we don't necessarily only want to see the posts of highly brilliant and successful people (dumb memes from your uncle Bill are occasionally fun), what do we do about that? It's just a firehose of slop.
