Naysayers:

They have the compelling story and publish as they see fit.

You read, or not, because non optimal.

They still have the compelling stories, still publish as they see fit.

Audience either way, because compelling.

Thought experiment for you:

There are two radio stations. One airs compelling content at low quality. Usable, but not produced optimally.

The other demonstrates production excellence, but just is not all that compelling.

Which do you listen to? Which do most people listen to and why?

That is what is happening here.
