Hello! I totally get your point, but I would ask you to consider mine.
I speak 4 languages rather well. German is native, italian is second, then comes english and then french. I recently wrote my first blogpost in italian ever (I am 40) and it felt so liberating. I did it, because there is hardly any italian content, and I had spent 2 months building up the german speaking channel:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@fabio/speaking-of-ants-the-germants-are-endangered-here
I totally agree with this:
"I want the quality of writing on Steemit to improve and I simply don’t see that happening if whales continue to reward poor quality content. Not only does it lower the bar but it signals to good writers that their talents are unappreciated. "

But the cause is that Steemit is currenlty built to reward english only. I have encountered numerous people that keep telling me they were going to write in their native language as soon as there was any perspective for reward.
Change that, and the bad english speakers will switch back to their native language (I have no problem writing only in German).
