Life is a great teacher and the things we learn through the experince could be a good content to share with. I think people do opt to write similar content, as many users unable to figure out the topics....kind of brain fade. But we have ample things to write upon after seeing and learning things from life, or society. .. if some are not good at English they may make use of Google translate to share the view..I.e making use of the knowledge...I see many users on hive already doing it..and they find a good support ...
Even if they don't have anything to write a great post about, they can still build on the work of others and bring their own perspectives and experience. I reckon that once people get in the habit of creating, the process gets much easier.
This is a good way to build upon through own insight and experince... it needs creativity but many lack them too.
