It feels like om of those, “What are there more of in this world, eyeballs or legs?”, kinds of thoughts but I think I am firmly in the:
Humans make a lot of bad stuff just for the sake of making stuff category.
Not a pessimist, just a realist, I have seen what’s on Wattpad.
It really depends on what you define as “make”. If you count individual semiconductors as something made then that’s probably what we’ve made the most of and those are usually 10/10 by volume because they have to be to function
But what about every terrible poem ever read at open mic night? Don’t you think those might cancel out all those awesome semiconductors?
You not appreciating someone reaching out a part of themselves to others doesn’t make it lesser. That is something that makes the world better, not worse. More people should be so brave.
I think thats mostly just because the rating scale is based on what circulates at wide enough acclaim to be perceived by lots of people. So the bar is set much higher than the average because we only really wanna engage selectively with the relatively much smaller amount of stuff of reasonable baseline quality
