I disagree to some extent. E.g. I like to tinker, repair and build stuff and then blog about it. I put quite some effort into the writing part and every finished post gives me joy. Blogging has become a hobby in its own right. It also helps with getting projects done, because now the project is finished only when the post is out. All of my three regular readers like the results, too.

Of course, earning money from that never crossed my mind – in that respect, I fully agree.

Seems like the blogging is still primarily motivated by your own enjoyment which makes perfect sense and seems to agree with the article.
