It does not matter, to be honest. Slowly people are realizing that nobody checks anything anymore, and when they check, nobody cares about positives or negatives, be them true or false. Actually, if you write something by hand today, all you’re doing is slowing yourself down, because truthfully nobody else will do that. Do you really think that you will have 100 times the benefit for doing 100 times more work than the other medíocre competition? No, because the audience does not care, and will care less and less as time goes on.

In the context of book publishing speed is not a virtue. Why would anyone want to publish 100 mediocre books ?

All I know is that when I see a new self-published book on Amazon, I go and check the author's page to see how many books he published and at what intervals. If I see 10 books published in the same year on various subjects I avoid it like the plague. Life is too short to waste my time reading slop.
