I only joined about 45 days ago and the content has slowly gotten worse. The more popular Steemit becomes, the more it will become like other social media sites. I think it would help if in the next HF, they find a way for us to flag without taking away voting power. Or give people the power to flag if they have a certain amount of steem. The copying and pasting is a little annoying. At least the cheetah bot catches it.
As for the languages...I'm sure that will happen eventually but I kind of like seeing all the languages on the front page. For those who want to stick to just their own language, there are the subs like kr, cn, and the like.
With technology nowadays, it's the click of a button to translate it. This is truly a connected and international community.
