Yes, of course real people use em dashes. But when the opening paragraph of a 3,000 word article has 4 of them, I don't have high expectations of the post's quality.

Four in the opening paragraph is a formatting tell before it's a writing one. A writer who spots that many and leaves them has stopped reading their own sentences out loud.
