What is quality content to you?
This is the million dollar question, to be honest.
In my own opinion, any piece of content that has a specific value to deliver.
As we all find value in a wide variety of things, it might be;

Entertainment
A provocative piece
Enlightenment
Inspiring others through our own journey.
etc
It can really subjective.
