Is Stephen King actually a good author?

So, I often go searching for new stuff to read and I see this kind of dichotomy between popular authors that are usually not very good IMO and lesser-known authors I find really good but admittedly niche in taste. I typically see the two types separated by which group I ask recommendations from. A notable exception is Stephen King. I get a small minority in any book recommending group recommending one of his books. I don't really care for any of his work I've read but I feel like he is similar to Nick Cage and is sometimes really good, sometimes really bad, usually entertaining regardless, and prolific/ famous enough that people get comfortable and become lax in judgement.
