Does Popularity Mean Quality?

People often tell me that, if I write quality posts, then people will flock to my blog.  My question is this: Does popularity mean quality?  I’m not asking this out of an attitude of self-pity, for my blogs have been doing quite well lately, in terms of how many views I am getting, or (in the case of my WordPress blog) people choosing to following me.  I just find that there are times when I can be on somebody else’s blog, and a comment there really resonates with me, even though no one else has clicked “like” on it.  And I find that there are posts that I write that are especially meaningful to me, yet they are not necessarily as popular as my posts that are not as meaningful to me.
