None of this excuses poor writing. At all. And that's what everything ultimately boils down to.

People can keep trying all they want. If they write well, it stays. If they don't, it doesn't. If they don't like that, there are places they can go where they have their own space and no one will touch their work. It's that simple.

When I look at a story, I never think, "Hm, are most people going to like this?" Because I don't care. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if I like it. All the matters is that the writing is sound and it abides by our content rules. Everyone might hate it, nobody might ever see it, but if it's good it stays.

And if it's good then there's a high chance people won't hate it, because people like good stories.
