I would expect the opposite. It's cheap to write now, which will dilute the voices of traditional media. It's the blogosphere times ten.

Also cheap to create AstroTurf, be that blogs or short form video.

Cheapness implies volume which we are already seeing. Volume implies less impact per piece because there are only so many total view hours available.

Stated another way, the more junk that gets churned out, the less people will take a particular piece of junk seriously.

And if they churn out too much junk (especially obvious manipulative falsehoods) people will have little choice but to de-facto regard the entire body of output as junk. Similar to how many people feel about modern mainstream media (correctly or not it's how many feel) and for the same reasons.
