Not saying this is the case for all of it, but the majority of the Build In Public content I've seen is in a writing style and attitude I personally don't like.

Not saying this is the case for all of it, but the majority of the Build In Public content I've seen is in a writing style and attitude I personally don't like. Trendy hipster stuff, overly informal tone, emojis everywhere, invariably high JavaScript usage and focus on web stuff. There also seems to be strong influence from the "#Hustle" crowd.
I like reading tech blogs for interesting technical insights, left-field problems & solutions, etc. Lots of the Build In Public blogs I've seen seem to be borderline product updates with technical details sprinkled in, with accounts of very run-of-the-mill bugs and challenges. Makes me think it's just gimmicky marketing material.
No specific examples come to mind, and I do have a small sample size, this is just the impression I got from the content I've seen.

Building some kind of nice utility program? Business! Have some good advice to share? Build a course! The build in public crowd seems to be more focused on KPIs than my boss is. I don't mind that people want to monetize things, but I hate that whenever you share something that you made just for fun, everybody expects you to "turn it into a business".
