Hi, Belgian here. Normally I also don't like people boasting. But in such articles, I like to have a background about the person.

I'm not going to waste my time reading advice from someone who posted 5 articles and has 10 subscribers.". And if they don't tell me why I have to listen to them, I won't.

They might just be lying. "But they wrote in their intro that they are an expert" isn't a good way to determine whether they are an expert on the topic imho.
