by "somewhat negative", do you just mean that less information makes you less confident about a decision? Or do you mean that being quiet is bad?

"Somewhat negative" in the sense that it suggests that they haven't made much of an impact on the world, or that they don't have much to say. They are much more of an unknown quantity.

Quiet isn't "bad" per se, but I'd rather hire someone who is confident enough in what they have to say, to say some stuff publicly.

Anybody can write that they're a genius with "insert buzzword" but google for their name and the topic and a result of nothing is confusing.
