Yeah, writing as a training of communicating clearly is perfectly good reason to do it.
It is hard to explain something in a short and concise form while keeping it understandable.
I also think its a bad idea to write only so a lot of people will read it, because at the beginning, it wont be true, probably. Youtube is extreme example where approach of "i want as many views as possible to get ads revenue" leads to. A lot of trash clickbaity content with 0 value and movies dragged out to hit 10 minutes mark to be more ad friendly.
I would say focusing on quality first is the way to go. Everything else follows.
PS. I had the same form of impostor syndrome, but at the end of the day I remember two things:
1) Almost everything has been covered already, multiple times. But I might have unique perspective/way of putting it, that will help this one person that read all of them
2) New developers are joining the community every day, and they might not seen anything - your post might be the first one (hence, links to resources are appreciated)
3) I learn everything I know from the internet, because someone cared to write it. Its a form of giving some of it back to the next generation.
