MIRI self publishes if I'm not wrong.

Why not publish in mainstream academia ?

You are wrong, MIRI doesn't only self publish: https://intelligence.org/all-publications/ There are multiple journal articles and conference papers in the list.

Indeed, I stand corrected.

I still find a rather big amount of self-published articles in this list. I find the idea of self-publishing articles to be a bit self-defeating :/

This is old and it seems like it was a bit controversial, but lukeprog wrote a post with some reasons that publishing in mainstream academia might be suboptimal: Reasons for SIAI to not publish in mainstream journals

There is no dichotomy here: it is possible to both keep blogs and publish in mainstream journals.
