Snobbery

I caught myself today not submitting poems to two different online publications because they were either in a blog format, or the site was riddled with 3rd party ads, or both. Some of the poems published on these sites were stronger than others, but I had to recognize a prejudice I felt against shooting for that market. I didn't want to navigate the site to read what it had to offer, and so I didn't want to put my own poems there.

Does that make me a snob? Not a true supporter of the arts? Am I aiming too high with my own work? In three month's time, if I haven't had more than the one poem accepted anywhere, I'm sure I'll re-set my sights (or sites, as it were).
