In my experience many of the CS people who are most active are basically doing it for career visibility reasons and much of what they post is either highly misleading or exaggerated to the level of clickbait. But it depends who we are talking about.

I was thinking specifically of the AI/ML folks. Many top researchers from universities, google, open ai, fair, etc. are super active online. I don't think they do it for career visibility.

There's a cargo cult blogging thing going on in ML, where you also have a large number of tutorials written by variably-competent people written not to inform, but to look good. As I'm sure you know, the results are fairly mixed.

Could you give some specific examples of each, name some names?
