UCG content will never make it up for the commercially produced stuff - users are lazy and rarely original, they do not have enough knowledge and skills, they also do not have budgets to produce anything decent. Sure those swarms of surfers could tweak and photoshop some pics and vids, but most of their "art" sucks and it is derivative activity anyway - they need somebody else (the original producer) to create the original art they can then tweak and photoshop. Without the original producer, there's no chain of derivative works.
Thinking that swarms of surfers would replace professional producers and become the main source of quality content in the future is just stupid. It is the same if you believe that swarms of clueless people will start producing quality cars (for free of course) instead of the professional manufacturers who have factories, engineers etc. Not going to happen.
