most of whales are speak english, so most of the content of STEEM would be written in english. So easy to understand.
Why waste my time to write a post on my native language when an english post have more visibility? (visibility = SD and upvotes, obvious) --> THIS must be changed, but nobody is listening to me...
I completely agree with you.This crossed my mind after I posted the article as well but ultimately it would have to be up to the users to purchase steam and power it up to empower the community. If we become stable and there is good money to be made by powering up and curating, like there is today, rich people in various communities will buy in and start spreading the wealth, ideally. In practice we could see something different but I think as a community we need to especially upvote content in other languages so people are empowered to post in their native writing. Its hard to upvote a post at 0 cents if you cant read it but, I look for multilingual posts with about 50 cents or more and upvote them even if I cant read them. I dont make that much from curating anyway so I mostly try to upvote posts under 5 dollars or so to keep people coming back.
