I don't really disagree, but I would note they aren't arbitrary, there's some topics they're interested in and write about. Like Rust and data visualization. Lots of them are about gluing together two popular technologies. I imagine that this a compromise between their expertise and which topics are trendy. I agree it's for sure a marketing strategy, and that that necessarily makes the content middling to good but never great. Sometimes I'm interested in some pair of technologies that feels like something Logrocket would write about, and it usually turns out to be true. If you wanna use D3 with your favorite frontend framework and want to avoid some of the pain of starting out, you'll probably find a reasonable competent explanation and avoid some of the early pitfalls.
