Sorry, I misunderstood and thought you were trying to correct me! Thanks anyway :)

I would agree, but I think the difference nowadays (had to look up I got "nowadays" right, seems I did!) is that people usually want a quality filter in front of them (like upvotes, likes, retweets or some other metric) rather than just having to judge by themselves.

In good ol' email threads, you always had to judge by yourself. In social media today, many assume quality because of metrics.
