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.
