So, Does Good Content Mean You Have More Chance At Success?
My take on that question is that YES, absolutely... but not necessarily on the short term... On the long term, quality always gets its due - but of course on the long term we are all dead. So, we must make a choice: starve like an artist, or piss copy like a Dan Brown.
I think I get you. Who is your favourite AUthor?
Difficult question... Tolstoy, Cendrars, Dashiell Hammett, Italo Calvino, Durrell, James Ellroy... :) Take a pick!
Interesting. I tend to agree with @herverisson here on his thoughts. Think of how much great art is only discovered after the artist dies.
Having produced quality content can produce benefits, but somehow a lot of garbage seems to rise to the top. (One reason I never know what the "Top 40" songs are anymore...not that they're ALL garbage, but let's be real.)
and speaking of garbage, there is a reason why Dan Brown's books are the most donated (ie abandoned) to Oxfam after they are read (https://www.theguardian.com/books/2012/jul/02/dan-brown-most-donated-oxfam). It's because no one would reasonably want to read it again! While I would never be able to abandon my copies of Catcher in the Rye or Salammbo.
