A lot of people don't want to receive a sermon and, likewise, wouldn't want to give one either. Every time I visit LinkedIn I roll my eyes at some of the things people publicly post. There is a certain self-seriousness bordering on pretentiousness with a LinkedIn post versus a half-serious Tweet. Twitter is more like chat. The blogs I tend to read are more informative than opinionated. E.g. "How to get this USB device working on Linux" versus "X Considered Harmful, Here Is My Hot Take Which Is Targeted For Maximum Virality". I've stopped reading most of HN opinion blogs because they are all terrible. This is not to say you can't have an opinion and express it in a nuanced, intelligent manner. But the viral algorithms and promoters aren't looking for those, and the skill to write such content is rare.
