There's a difference in personality, interests and purpose.
I don't read OMAAT to try to get a deeper cultural understanding of any national cultures. Nor do I read SFO777 trip reports for that purpose either. But unlike with OMAAT, with SFO777 trip reports I know I'm not going to have to filter through reading a bunch of cut and paste-like clutter copy to get to the meat of a story or be targeted for a credit card sign-up.
If people want to get a deeper understanding of a national culture, reading a country's version of national and world history as taught to middle and high school children in a country will do way more to inform about national culture than reading any given FT trip report or any given miles/points blog. And you don't even need to sign up for a credit card or read social media advertisements to get that "education".
