Gerade noch gut genug

Hier nur ein kurzer Ausschnitt aus Vin Crosbies sehr langem – und ziemlich gescheiten – Essay «Transforming American Newspapers»:

«The overabundance of suppliers of news and information […] leads to another corollary, one that might seem to be counter-intuitive: the ‘good enough’ beats perfect. The overabundance of suppliers leads to competition that actually lowers the threshold of acceptable quality. When there were few suppliers, they used higher quality content (i.e., ‘high production values’) as a competitive weapon against each other. But now that there is an overabundance of suppliers, their competition levers towards being the first to produce content that is at least of acceptable quality. Millions of videos are viewed billions of times each month on sites such as YouTube.com (+3 billion per month) not because of high production values, but because the videos are at least ‘good enough’ to watch.»

Könnte diese Aussage nicht auch auf die eine oder andere News-Website zutreffen?
