It seems to me things are pumped out 24/7, and just put together really sloppily.

I see so many threads these days "New site does amazing blah blah blah!" but when I look at it I wonder even if the weirdest and most gullable surfers would go for it.

Maybe I am just talking out of my ass (as per usual here) but I sincerely think if more time was put into projects, sites could kick ass. Instead same old content is slapped on a boring old template cookie cutter site and BOOM traffic goes to it instead of reaching max potential.
You're right. One reason I think is due to the faceless consumer and low levels of perceived accountability. When you deal with a customer face-to-face, you feel more compelled to produce a more competant (and competitive) product. Lots more reasons. Things will change however as more entrants compete for the same consumers.
