With easy tools comes many results. Sure, there is a lot of bad photos, but many good photographers use the new tools well. It's just harder to find the good stuff.
Like everything that have gone digital before photography, it will peak with cheap tools and the people who were not "really" into it will stop using the tools as much and the serious folks will last.
BTW. I don't mind the Hipstamatic app (I have it) but Picture Show is a much better app with more effects.
In short, applying cool effects to bad photos only interest people for so long before they move on. Content is still king.
