90% of everything is crap.

  --Sturgeon's law.

Maybe even 99+% these days, seeing how easy it is to publish your first finger-painting online. Doesn't mean there isn't any good stuff, or even a lot of good stuff. 1% of a lot is still a lot.

(ps. and once you get people reading, they tend to keep doing it and develop taste over time. if it's even just a few who wouldn't have done it before. That's good, right?)

(pps. For example: at 2M words, I think pirateaba might exceed the "first 1M words are practice" threshold)
