True, but at some point it doesn't. Ignoring the 99.99% of titles on Steam I don't recognize from reviews, known developers, or word of mouth isn't meaningfully harder than ignoring 99%.

This is worse for new entrants than either established developers or consumers, who will have to work harder to get their work recognized amidst the rising tide of slop.

Perhaps some conventions will develop similar to what I've seen on a smaller scale for fan artists releasing work online, where developers will provide some evidence of their development work in process to convince (human or AI) slop filters to let them pass.
