Basically, steam will become nothing more than a launcher. There's no reason to look at it as a storefront with the thousands of garbage flooding in. Go buy your games from 3rd party sites like gmg or humble.

Pretty much. This is only a good thing for Valve because it means they can lay off everyone who was trying to develop quality control algorithms (since they already laid off any actual people doing that job), and even that's debatable in the long run because it's going to drive people away from Steam as a storefront. Though I guess Valve makes plenty of money off of trading card sales even if the game generating those cards is utter garbage that the player paid 5 cents for, so maybe they'll do alright with nothing but those sales. I personally don't see that being very sustainable, though.
