It is not that there are too many communities, let's be fair each country could run exactly the same topic-community in their own language if they would go for it without harming other communities.

The main problem is the communities are a mess!
A country community does not stand for a topic and many tried to host literally every type of contest to be noticed. The result is it's chaotic, interesting posts cannot be found. I mean seriously: who likes to read poetry or read about healthcare will not visit Pakistan or Venezuela and scroll through hundreds of diaries in the hope to find a poem!

The lack of or using the wrong hashtags is another problem. If I search for #story most of what I see is nonsense text and indeed diaries and AI text and whatever is posted. It is the same for every hashtag used.
A community should stand for a topic and make clear that only certain content is accepted and which hashtags should be used.

If it's important to mention: steemexclusive, clubstatus, country and burnsteem25 let those hashtags be the last 4 since not one of them is important. It's just extra information that can be found everywhere and no one will say: I am bored let's see who joins #club5050
