When I was younger, I was all about the quantity, just rack-em up, knock-em down you know? But nowadays, I much prefer the slow, artisan way of quality.
What matters is the overall value. For the price of the quality item, will it outlast multiple quantities of the cheaper item? If the answer is yes, buy the quality. If the answer is no, buy in quantity.
@therealjrn Yeah, my overall shirt.woot collection is quantity over quality (because Anvil), but that’s also because way more than half were from second hand sources. Because Anvil.
Also, I’m not wearing a catshirt tonight. I should blame the scapegoat for that one.
ETA: Latest shirt to add to the cut pile. Because Anvil.
In my line of work there is a commonly-used tool that doesn’t seem to have a mid-range version. There is high-quality/expensive, and crap-quality/cheap. The difference between the two is significant, but many times the low-quality version is the go-to because if it gets damaged, lost, or “borrowed” it’s not as painful.
When I used to sell welding equipment, I’d oftentimes espouse the phrase, “I’d rather explain quality, than the lack thereof.” to my customers. We sold quality equipment (primarily Lincoln welders) & would compete against all other outlets who could only sell on a cheap price. We’d win the battle way more than we’d lose it! To have a customer come back to you 3,4,5 years later saying they still loved their purchase was especially gratifying.
Quanlity.
The quantity of batteries in a quality fridge.
True story.
@shahnm a quality joke is better than the unending quantity of a stale old joke
@unksol But if you take away my stale old jokes, I won’t have any jokes at all…!

Quality, unless we’re talking about money.
@wonidejack
Are you a dealer in the black market, then?
Anything that is not what meh is currently selling is better
I want maximum quantity of space in a quality built home.

@narfcake I think we know where catshirts lay on the spectrum then…

@nolrak come on down!
@mediocrebot @nolrak wtf is the bot doing now
According to the poll results, Meh.com has the wrong demographic. How are they staying in business?
@DVDBZN They make it up in volume.
I’d rather have one really great thing than a bunch of crappy stuff.

Why do I come to meh? For the quality of the deal, not necessarily the quality of the merchandise.
Quantity is a quality of its own.
I like a good, well-planned, home-cooked meal. But sometimes a cheap buffet is just what is needed.
“Quality” is better by definition.
noun 2b. Superiority in kind
The non smart-aleck answer is also “quality”. Saying its 'better" doesn’t mean it is always the most important, much less the only thing that matters.
Usually quality, but if we’re talking about pizza, then dump it in my mouth.
Quality every day of the week!

I mean. Meh doesn’t give you either. The business model is sell you cheap shit. But they will only sell you three. So. No quality. And no quantity.
