I do think that many things can best reach their potential if a lot of time is put into them, and I think that the reason many things online are rather dubious in value is that people who create them are more concerned with speed than longevity. At the same time, I disagree that quality and quantity (or in this case frequency) have an inverse relationship by default. There are lots of bad TV shows, movies, and magazines, regardless of the release interval. Think of all the stupid comedy and action flicks, consider the tabloids, remember the sleazy soaps, ridiculous talk shows, and awful "reality" shows that dominate TV. So, really, I don't think anybody actually likes more than a tiny minority of what is out there in any category — although there is something out there for everyone. What you should really take from my blog post is that, whether magazine, film, or sitcom, we wait for content that we really enjoy. And I hope, perhaps erroneously, that my posts are worth waiting for. Well, that’s an interesting consideration.

People wait for the summer blockbusters, but people also wait for the news daily. Is something that happens few and far between always have more quality of things that happen way too often, or is it just the fact of how often that these things happen to how we categorize quality? Is it perhaps the fact that anyone can post a blog, perhaps lowering the expectation of quality as well as the fact that writers and editors produce television shows and magazines?
