I don't think "mass amateurization" and "institutions" are opposed. Traditionally you needed major institutional support to set up, say, a TV channel; today you can get a YouTube channel for free. If you start a YouTube channel and it gets successful you can certainly set up institutions and processes to keep it successful, but those things aren't necessary to get started.
