So Nate Abbott, a ski photographer is a new blogger on ESPN.com Freeskiing. It's awesome to see that list of bloggers growing. However his debut blog sucked really bad compared to the high quality content ESPN has been putting out. It was riddled with bad grammar, random name dropping, old news and links to snowboard and energy drink sites? It left me confused because I'm used to reading good stories and accounts of actual ski news.

In John Symms fashion, the original ESPN Blogger and now Powder Mag columnist served Nate with a great response-article calling out his lackluster performance.

The point of this thread isn't to call out Nate (he's one of the best photogs out there) but to ask the question of what do you think is better? Quality or Quantity. Are you willing to see the same news piece on the NS homepage for a week knowing the next one will be a quality, in-depth story with thought put into it and maybe a video OR would you rather have a new story every other day with another e-mail interview with some random person or coverage of a bunch of skiers watching skiing movies with an old edit embedded on the end? I honestly like a bit of both but what do you think?
In short: Quality? or Quantity?
