Well, one may hope for a "worse is better" scenario. As in Star Wars EU, where people generally do shopping as they still do in less developed areas of our planet - asking people they trust, which ask other people they trust, and so on.
This is going to make centralized media a hellscape of fakery.
It's like with viruses - if a virus kills people too fast, it'll kill itself.
Maybe cypherpunk-style "public web" technologies will finally become mainstream, because the rest simply won't be usable.
