Are Realtors Worth The Commission Anymore?

Given that there is such a liquid market of buyers online I was wondering what people's thoughts are on the commission paid to Realtors. A 6% commission has always seemed scandalously high to me given the typical amount of service one receives on a listing.

I would love to hear the opinion of others on the matter...including the Realtor's take.
