My take on this is mostly on irl essays. My problem is that most of these hour long essay formats are made by 20 year olds. I have severe doubts on whatever 20 year olds would give advice on life. This doesn't mean I automatically nullify anything they say, but most of these are at best just not that valuable (at least in respect to my needs and my standards). Almost as if this was the contemporary equivalent where Socrates would be calling out the youth imitating actual philosophers, mimicking the eloquence but never the value that the words should or could have contained.
There's a reason why most of my feed are mid-adult and old men giving advice and lessons. They were in the forays of life. The 20 year olds do it cause its fashionable. Even if I were to give something in advice, I'd rather it remained in a conversational context because pretentiousness and pretense of aged wisdom would kill me.
Easiest way to filter them is to asses what their lifestyles are, then maybe you can decide if they're worth your time.
