As long as people are willing to pay for junk, then there will always be a firehose of junk.
It’s still junk, though; even if it wins.
Almost every project I write is filled with compromise; especially as it nears release, and I always have a powerful urge to rewrite it from scratch, but I don’t feel shame. It’s not junk. It represents a sincere effort to do great work.
That’s one reason that I’m so glad to be out of the rat race, and doing my own thing. I feel dirty, if I am knowingly writing junk. My work is a craft, and a labor of love. I get great personal satisfaction from it. Making money, and “beating the competition,” aren’t even minor factors.
It’s hard to argue with “It makes money!”.

You can’t shovel shit, without getting it on you.
