Obviously more people are going to be aware of and open to discussion about popular shows than they are about less popular "quality" shows. Because that's the fucking definition of "popular".

Quality.

Although it does seem the 3 B's can increase a show's popularity regardless of its quality.

Bad question is bad. Quality>Popularity. If discussing popular things is what you want, talk about Justin Beiber

Popularity.
I find it entertaining to try and see why popular anime are popular and be elitist.

No, seriously. Its either life talk or anime/game talk with the people I know. And the people I know aren't 100+ anime watchers.

Trust me, the only issue with him is that he immediately starts insulting everybody he replies to when he doesn't agree with them. Even if he's correcting a typo he'll call you 'dimwit' in the process, even if he's telling people that their shitposts are against the rules, he'll insult them in the process, also breaking the rules. He's a hypocrite that never cares about the subject matter as long as he finds a fault or fallacy he can point out while calling the person who committed said fault or fallacy a 'stupid fucking idiot'. Not that he isn't often right, but that's not how someone argues that cares about making a point, that's how someone argues who simply gets joy from talking down to others. Red_keys is awfully polite compared to Tallon.

Please don't make it sound like having and arguing opinions is a reason to dislike someone. It's all about the tone and how one chooses to express himself when communicating with others.
I probably regret this post by now.

It's funny because in my experience Intro is the nicest guy and still patiently answers stupid questions in thread where I either just troll or snap at the OP. I don't even know how the beef between you two started.

Anyway, my serious reply was along the lines of popularity (number of viewers) and 'quality' (as in high rating) kinda go hand in hand on MAL. Not every popular show will get a high rating, but it's almost impossible for an unpopular show (a few hundred or a few thousand viewers tops) to get a rating above 8 or 8.5 because of all the casuals who rate everything 9 or higher, while unpopular shows are mostly watched by people who have bigger lists and/or use the full scale of ratings. So a show with a few hundred votes and an average of 7.8 or something is likely to be as good as a popular 8.8 rated show, and a popular show in the 6.xx range is likely to be crap while unpopular shows in the 6.xx range can be any kind of quality.
So if you pick your shows by rating you'll still end up with almost exclusively popular shows. I think that may be why it seems to you that a lot of people value popularity over quality (ratings and reviews are really the only thing you can use to judge the potential quality of a show before you've actually seen it).
I probably regret this post by now.
