I posted 250 blogs to Dev.to in a month, and 248 of them got less than 10 views. The first mistake was generic titles — they're clickbait, and Dev.to readers hate that. The second was using the same tags on every post, which got me flagged as spam.
The third mistake was posting 1 blog per minute using a bulk script without waiting the rate limit. Dev.to throttled my API key, and half my posts never went live. Now I wait 5 minutes between posts, use unique tags per post, and write human titles that don't sound like AI.
If you're posting to Dev.to, slow down. Quality and consistency beat bulk spam every time.
