I never said that it was an indicator of quality, just that longevity can be a good reason to give something your time or revisit when you don't "get it". You're more likely to get something valuable out of something that many people have found value in for a long time than an unknown record you came across in bandcamp, right? There are no absolutes in music so don't try to manipulate my post into something obtuse like you just tried to do.
