I think that building a community and writing articles are different skill sets. Some very successful bloggers ("influencers" in modern slang) are able to do both but that's not the norm for most individuals.

Sure, it's fine when you're small and it's just a few people with similar interests. But once your audience starts to grow it can be really hard work to maintain a healthy community.
