Quality is totally subjective.
What is one’s trash is the other’s gold, as we see time over time with media, popular websites, and also the moving pictures.
I admit myself that when it comes to reading I’m quite the snob, probably even more so when it comes to movies. But those are personal experiences and not what makes my feed and not necessarily what builds my social circle.
I prefer reading Voltaire over Mills & Boons, I prefer a director trying to frak with my mind over an easygoing soap story, but that’s all both personal time and experience.
Sometimes value is the exact opposite. The opportunity to unwind, to think less, to read different styles and find value in them. The discovery.
And, of course, the thought provocation. Even though at times that may be wanting to bang my head against the wall. Often even [imaginary] head banging results in me learning something new and that’s improvement, self-improvement thus value.
