I'm not saying it's fine to create low quality on purpose, obviously, any writer should aim to create the best content possible.
The problem I have is the reasoning that just because someone is a beginner there's no value in publishing his or her stuff. Any real effort has value. The more the better. It's new material that others can build upon. For example, it's a great opportunity for curators digging out the good stuff for others (I partly do this).
Besides, when does someone become "expert enough" to be sufficiently useful to publish? Who decides that?
The other problem with the argument "please don't publish, you are spoiling my search engine" is that it is not realistic at all. Everyone writes now. That's why we all need critical thinking and ask "why" and "does this make sense". A writer shouldn't pretend to be an "expert" or make false claims but this does not mean it is realistic to demand this (and I'm not even starting to talk about fake news etc)
