Hey. We're not incapable of effort

If you don't speak the language, but make an article like this (and are actively sharing it), the bar is most definitely above "you gotta get it proofread".

I'm quite sure you're going to get a pretty uniform response from non-native speakers across the globe if you are saying that we are poor little creatures and the world should lower this bar

I am non-native speaker, so n=1 here. Moreover, I said that I do not consider OP to be such a low bar. It may be informally written, but it did not cross my mind it would have been not understandable to some. I guess opinions may vary on this. Going back reading it I see quite a few obvious grammatical errors, surely they should have spent some effort fixing them before posting it here (nowadays it should be trivially easy to do) but again it is not to the point of not being understandable or hard to read, imo.
