What you said poses an interesting question I've wondered about.

When I first joined Steemit, I found lots of posts with ...as an example, poetry.

The poems were mostly trite and badly written, made worse by the fact that many were written by those whose mother tongue is not English.

I was split in how I viewed it - as a lover of art, in both cases.

Should I rejoice that more people are expressing themselves by something that somewhat resembles poetry...at times, or should I fear that the average quality of what is written is so badly expressed that it will turn many away from reading poetry?

The same goes for most of the other arts.
