To me, language and culture have intrinsic value. I also feel very attached to my cultural heritage because I'm descended from holocaust survivors. I don't want to simply sit back and watch as the culture and language disappear, and I want to provide an entrypoint for people like me who are interested but perhaps have a little less time on their hands, or who struggle with learning languages.
I'm planning soon to start releasing some videos where I read some of the old stories in English! There's not enough of it out there. It's important to me to preserve it, and the best way to preserve culture and language is to disseminate it.

I don't put too much stock in downvotes, there are so many new users joining over the past few years, some fraction inevitably of questionable quality, that votes as a signal have become much less meaningful compared to say 10 years ago.
In fact, it's probably more of a positive signal for the really interested folks.
I'm not quite sure how the language/culture intrinsically having value or not relates though. Surely it would be the relative strength that impacts the successful rate of sharing?
And there are many hundreds or thousands of such languages and cultures competing on the internet.

Definitely! I think that on the culture side specifically, there's not very much "English-side" voice for it. Hence why I'm looking to read stories, share songs, etc. in English, so that people who don't speak the language can still find information about the culture.
Then the other prong, I guess, is helping to build out the language-learning side, so that people looking to enjoy the language have more resources to do so.
