If they actually go through with it and write it up, that’s better than the status quo, yes. But if they don’t determine to go through with it and may give up, it’s another selection bias, specifically, publication bias (person A does a self-experiment but halfway through runs out of spare effort and abandons it; person B, by chance, gets better results and blogs about it etc).
