I agree with public speaking. Whenever I see someone able to even create a video and upload with a face, I am in awe with their confidence.

Public speaking just takes everything to the next level. How can people be so confident about themselves?

For example some technical blogger post it like they own their posts. Going through that feels like the author is a all-knowing being.

How does that even kick in within a person?

Most public speaking relevant to technology is reading slides. Not exactly an awe-inspiring task.

And some other kinds of public speaking (e.g. Trump’s or Biden’s speeches) are so bad that I sincerely believe any moderately intelligent person should be able to do better.

Technical blogger videos are not public speaking - there is plenty of editing.

Yep - for every minute of videos I upload there’s an hour of editing.

And recording audio is full of retakes.
