What is more important - the quantity or quality of directories in SEO promotion?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

It's 2014 in the yard, IMHO the days of "shove into all directories" have passed, or am I wrong? Let's say, on the same 1ps, you can take all the directories, but you can, say, only those who have TCI and PR above at least 10, let's say.
What is relevant now? As for me, roughly speaking, these directories are not needed at all now, and maybe vice versa they interfere. But nevertheless, what is acceptable for the site "better": 300 all sorts of catalogs, or 100 but with TIC> 20?

Answer 1

In the yard of 2014 - TCI and PR now do not affect search results in any way (IMHO)

Answer 2

There aren’t even fifty normal catalogs, hence the conclusion that it’s tedious to swear in them, but you can nominally raise pr=1 and ticks=10, but you have to select them yourself and register with pens, well, buy a place in the Yandex catalog for 12k rubles.
