Thanks for your article. It's clear that you've put more thought into it than the majority of authors on dev.to!
In a way I think that dev.to is a victim of the short attention spans that social media platforms have helped their users de-evolve into. It's certainly not the only factor but there seems to be this shift towards low quality, fast browsing of media.
I find personal blogs are much higher quality, at least the ones you tend to hear about percolate to the top and become well known because they are genuinely useful.
The more "Top X" type articles I see on dev.to, the further it reinforces my decision not to visit regularly. I only found this article via a "Read next" on a colleague's post, honest!
