Like most of us, I'll take a bit of trash from time to time, but I really do find the old adage "quality, not quantity" to be true, for me at least, most of the time.
Generally, though, I'm happy to be the kind of person who makes things with qualities "most people" don't care about, and I'm happy to be the kind of person who cares about, pays [more] for, and compliments people on those qualities in the things I consume.
There are more great TV shows and movies than I will ever watch.
There are (far!) more great books than I will ever read.
Using thoughtfully designed and well-made tools and gadgets is much more satisfying and often works out better, too.
