No it won't, you don't find new music by throwing darts blindly in the wall, look at who produced a band/who the band tours with and thanks on their album. A little googling and you too can have 1800 albums in your Bandcamp collection
I don’t think we disagree, I think irl and network recs (from bands you already like) will become more important. I think algorithmic discovery, which a lot of people currently rely on on spotify/pandora, will diminish.
I do think it will make it harder for new acts to get their stuff out there though.
It's pretty easy to show video or live proof of you making music, I don't think it will cause a significant shift in the way you suggest.
