I'm already dreading it. Steam was already full of junk being released by the dozens every single day. It's hard to think it could be worse.

I also think Steam does a great job a hiding it, and the new recommendation page is really great IMO. Other than some generic AAA, it introduced me to really great games I enjoyed based on my play history.

The more content is available, the more curation is important and IMO their algorithm currently does a good job at it.

Steam kept pushing a game as "recommended for you" with 99% negative reviews.

In what world would I possibly want to buy a game with a <1% approval rating?

There are some odd cases like that, but you can always "Ignore" a game and it'll never show up again. That also feeds into Steams curation for you based on your interests.
