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.
