Re: Are we obligated to follow our own advice?
Is there not a hadees about this from our beloved prophet s.a.w.?
Where he was doing something and kept asking the advice-seeker to return the next day until such time as the prophet s.a.w. himself had stopped himself so that he could ask them to stop?
Re: Are we obligated to follow our own advice?
Two main questions that pop in mind:
Q1. People say that "First you learn and then start practicing". Can you first learn how to drive and then start driving or the two are the acts that go simultanously? (Or replace driving to swimming or anything that you like)
Q2. People say that "First you become a better and practicing muslim, then advise others." My question: Is not it dangerous to think that one is a good and better muslim and his or her acts are already being accepted by Allah? This type of thinking leads people to go astray and become proud (a trait of Satan). It is advised to muslims not to have a feeloing of "holier than thou".

Re: Are we obligated to follow our own advice?
some people just advise a lot, because its their habbit. Satisfies their ego, makes them feel smart/wise. basically they just like to get attention/likes and give politically correct/obvious/cliche'd advice and derive pleasure from reading their own posts.
