Much of this depends on an insider/outsider dichotomy, at least in the fields I know well. Insiders will know what work to ignore (& may occasionally tell others), without needing to waste time & create enemies by explicitly saying so.
Internal to the field this seems to me like a pretty good (albeit imperfect) solution. But it's not great for outsiders, who often can't evaluate easily, and it may lead to the public having a very inaccurate view.
It also relies on those fields having pretty good ways of determining whether something is correct. Eg, I ignored a lot of quantum information papers that had obviously wrong (or not even wrong) mathematics in them. In some fields it's much harder to say what "progress" is at all
This is one of the things that seems so worrisome about social psychology, where it seems almost the entire field is reasonably called into question by the replication crisis. Errors don't really hurt a field, _provided_ there are reliable ways of id'ing errors...
