a) professional reasons (they are targeting an international market)

b) they are in online spaces where English is the most common language. Tumblr for example, and it's a really special case because it is a platform where text is super important. Another place may be AO3, Spanish speakers usually post fanfictions in Spanish on other platforms

BUT here is the important part, as somebody who speaks Galician, online you can see that Galician is a minorized language because really few people post in Galician. But this just mimics reality.

So what I'm trying to say is: usually this problem of people not posting on their native language mimics reality and it happens more to people that speak minorized languages.

Also, in my personal case here on Tumblr I post mainly in English, but in other places I'm continuously deciding which language to use depending on who I'm posting for.

The zines I make? I talk about them in Galician. Those are in Galician and I sell them in Galicia.

My professional life? Mostly English and a bit of Spanish because I'm a 3D animator, it's a globalized market and people expect me to speak English fluently.

Also, choosing a language to post really depends on your online friends. Like, if you've made enough friends online from other parts of the world it's common to find a common language (English because colonialism). If you're online talking mostly to IRL friends you'll continuously post in your language without thinking.
