She is a known technology blogger https://rachelbythebay.com, active for more than a decade. Her posts often make it to front page.

Why should one trust her? What's her full name and the reason for deferring to her expertise?

Maybe she's actually a real expert I should be listening to! But layer upon layer of vague "if you know, you know" do not make that case.

turns out you can Google it.
