> My own thoughts are that this is the reason we get mediocre and worse books. Reading a book “just because” rewards mediocrity. There’s only one title/team I had always followed, due to the fact that they were the reason I started reading any comics. Any other title, when the quality of storytelling or art declined to a point that it was a chore to read it, I dropped it. Easy enough to get the overarching continuity even if I’m missing B’wana Beast’s part in it.

I don’t agree. It’s much more complex than that… it rewards a shared universe with a tone and history I enjoy. Because DC has plenty of mediocre books right now that I’m not reading. Besides, it sounds like you’re conflating ‘mediocre’ with ‘actively bad’.
