Some plump up their word count by providing content in a bilingual format - when we all have browsers that can translate with a single click

LoL. ¿Don't you find this interesting? The current level of ignorance, stupidity and greed in the Hive blockchain by most of its herd members following blindly the stupider rules of some communities demanding "bilingual posts" in order to be "curated" and worth of an upvote?

I think that this is an education problem. English is probably better for SEO, but the world isn't painted in the same brush. We lose everything in the translation, but I guess, with people who don't know that they can click a single button - and have a translation available... I'm not sure what we can do about that, as I said in reply to @harbiter -

I do tend to use that click translate button from time to time, and it is enough for the general purpose of a post to come across. Where I become conflicted, and feel a sense of absolute entitlement, is where I want to respond - should I do it in English, or should I write it in English, then translate to the language the origiinal, then hope my message isn't lost - or that people think I have a mastery of other languages.

I can only speak three languages - English, whimpering, and whatever those sounds are that I made as an infant.
