I worry about their survival too. But the fact is, I hang out with a lot of readers and there are wait lists at the libraries for the best books. Reviews and social media do help to keep the quality issues in check to a large degree. Also the fact that Audible is doing so well and that Amazon purchased them gives me hope. Self-publishing has flooded the market, but the big name publishers still hold the keys to the kingdom, I think. Great discussion!
