I'm siding with Katsunami. BookJunkieLI, I respect your opinion, but what you have not addressed is that however many hours have gone into a book, readers often choose poor to mediocre work and turn them into bestsellers.

The response you quoted was incredibly condescending, elitist, and snobby:

If the average person has relatively little experience or knowledge, it shouldn't be surprising that they make decisions to support things which are of low quality, because they do not have the ability to recognize high-quality items, and because low-quality items are often advertised to them aggressively.

So most readers don't know how to recognize quality--they're just so stupid, they're manipulated by publicity campaigns and are victims of groupthink. Oh, those poor dumb sheeple.
