Do you prefer quality or quantity?
Do you prefer quality or quantity?
Quality all the way. Someone could pump something out every day but the quality of it suffers.

I agree quality is better, but for some reason I am naturally drawn to quantity, if that makes any sense. For example, I used to have an obsession with making my music as lengthy as possible. It sacrificed quality, and I realized that, so I try not to do that anymore.
I think quantity leads to quality, so I just go for quantity.
IE. If you're learning to do something, better to do it 100 times and fail a lot but get steadily better than to try only once and try to make the first attempt perfect. Theres an example with a ceramics class, but it holds true with many skills.
I used to be firmly in the quantity boat ("more is better"), but then I realised when I tried doing lots of short stories at a time that the quality suffered, and it suffered hard. So now I pretty much subscribe to writing whenever I want, because even if it's less often the end result is drastically better (and somehow more coherent) than if I'd try writing a story a day. I also get more free time then, which is nice. :D

Spoiler:
It entirely depends on the subject matter. I couldn't say firmly one or the other.
Lychee is totally right about practice with things like art, but for games or TV shows, I'd much rather a four-hour experience or four-episode season if it means the content is rich. Otherwise it can drag on, become useless filler, and really dilute the experience.
