Anyway, if I would provide strategy advice to the general poker community would this be more morally acceptable? Considering I am still basically teaching people to take money from someone else. Also the advice will be available for everyone and completely free so I guess that makes it a bit more acceptable...

In general, look at Steves question of: "What is your purpose?"
Making money is no good one.
Then I am highly untypical but maybe I can give you an other perspective on poker.
Let me start with a nice aphorismus:
"The military strategy from Japan, Russia, and the US could be compared to Go, Chess and Poker."
It might be a bit of an exaguration but it has a bit of truth.
You can't understand strategic decisions that are made in the US today without understanding poker dynamics.

It would be a shame if that time and energy spend goes to total waste, now I also developed some personal character traits that will help me in my future life but a lot of the knowledge is not applicable to 'normal' life.

A lot of "knowledge" I learn't at school isn't applicable to my life either. Factual knowledge isn't the point of education. We have google these days if we are searching facts.
It's bringing different mental perspectives to new problems and thinking differently about the new problems than the average uneducated fellow.
Nobody reads Shakespeare because there is somehow facutal knowledge expressed in it that is valuable. People read literature to get a new perspective on life (yes, there are also people that read literture for fun but that is besides the point).
If you can convey those things you have learnt that are applicable to other areas of life that you have learned by playing poker I will probably read your blog and get real value out of it.
