I feel like the animated gif does a great job explaining how it works. If you're at all familiar with jq, it's immediately obvious what this tool does.

Seeing what a tool does isn't a comparison. A blog post would hopefully be insightful and point out non-obvious things, like how jq is arguably abandonware. https://github.com/jqlang/jq/issues/2305
I don't see how jq being abandonware is relevant to a different tool with a different feature set.
See, this is exactly what a blog post could explain. It's relevant because people who need a tool that hasn't been abandoned are looking for an alternative. The reducers in fx could be a replacement for jq in many use cases, and their feature sets overlap quite a lot.
