I think I found the link you're referring to - is it 'this one'
(https://howchoo.com/g/zmvjzwmzmjm/add-raspberry-pi-4-cooling-fan)?

I think their wording ('GPIO pin 4 (5V)') is misleading - I think
they're connecting to physical pin 4, which is a 5V supply pin, rather
than GPIO4 (physical pin 7).  I think the fan current is too much for
GPIO4 (or any GPIO pin), so if you want to use a GPIO pin to control the
fan you're going to need a transistor.
