> it's really a shifting of the work needed to get distributed

The hardest part of distribution seems to be advanced filtering of content and matching it with interested/relevant readers.

Whoever is doing that filtering/matching the best - is best suited for distribution.

Is that filtering/matching work best done by the publisher or the writer?

The writer should know her audience the best.

Who is in the better position to make such match: publisher or original writer?

History and economics suggests that the publisher is much better at it.
