Consider the sheer amount of new tech, or more general, of new ideas being shared here and on other places every single day. How is a single person supposed to evaluate all that?
You don't even need to go that broad. I'm working in the cloud infrastructure field (think Kubernetes and such). Just following all developments in that narrow space is such a mind-boggingly huge task that it's physically impossible for a single person to follow all of it (except at extreme surface level). And that's before we consider other areas of tech. Or other areas of interest (politics, science, culture).
To make the task of navigating the world even somewhat tractable, we all have to rely on outside authorities whom we trust for a lot of our information diet. Hence why I am very grateful for known figures like Moxie Marlinspike to examine this topic and provide me with a succinct summary of their impression through writing. That's not to say that I take everything Moxie says as gospel, but I know enough about him to judge which of his statements can be trusted and which need to be taken with a grain of salt.
