Quality is value to some person (who matters). This formula is a high quality definition of quality (to me). With this definition I can think and see straight about this subject. “Most people don’t care about quality” therefore is a way of saying “any standard of quality I find interesting and can bring to mind right now seems to be held by a minority of people.” This is interesting to me only in the sense that it implies a lack of rigor and imagination on the part of the writer, as well as the diversity of tastes among people at large. Surely it is easy to tell if most people care about quality in video: just show them randomly generated images (literally white noise) and see if they prefer that to images that seem to tell some kind of story. The author probably means that almost no one invests in quality past a certain point that is good enough to fulfill a purpose they have in mind, and that the demandingness of human purposes decays according to some sort of power law.
