Is it wrong to post about your own project, as long as it provides value? My situation isn't unique - many library developers write series of articles about their own work to share it with others.
If you don't think an article provides value to you, unfollow the author and ignore their posts. That's how you get an author to stop posting about a topic.
You articles repeat the same points over and over again and all converge towards the fact that your library is amazing and great and isn't the virtual dom the best thing ever. Geez we get it already.
I wish more people would write good articles to help others out of altruism, instead of rehashing the same post twelve times for free advertisement and selfish interests.
This is exactly the problem with Dev.to, a pure tragedy of the commons. Everyone here wants to promote their own work while providing minimum value. It's a sad state of affairs.
All the people using this website as a free billboard are greatly diminishing its quality, which in the long run will only destroy it completely.
But at least you got some stars on your github project.
I think you are generalizing my articles into a straw man and immediately pointing it as overused or oversaid. Personally, as a high school student, I'm really passionate about the virtual DOM space, and dev.to is my way of not only pressure testing my own opinions, but also coupled with my library. Others like me don't have easy access into this space, and this is one of the ways to break into it, learn, and try to contribute and provide value to others.
I believe I read your article on bullshit articles and lack of quality (e.g. 10 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT this), and I do agree to an extent. But do I care? No, I move on and look for higher quality articles, and this goes for the same for any other forum. Additionally, these articles genuinely provide value to some beginners, and ignoring that is just having an elitist attitude.
Personally, I write articles not out of altruism, but out of mutalistic gain. The reader obtains some value, and I obtain some value. I applaud your efforts for advocating for better quality, but at the end of the day, quality is subjective based on the end reader, and trashing on students trying to provide value in this space is cringe at best.
Anyway, this post was made in bad faith, and I ask you to cease discussion here. Feel free to discuss with people who are interested in your opinion outside of this article.
