100% agree. I loved Dev.to in the beginning and moved my blogs from Medium to here. Initially, I had great success and was motivated to produce quality content but then at some point Dev.to became a place for listicles and the only posts getting on the top pages (and even top 7 of the week) were listicles. I even experimented by creating a few listicles of my own (not very proud of that, as they look less than 10 minutes to create) and they did much better than the posts I really spent effort by researching a lot, making example codes, graphics etc. So decided to move blogs to a Jekyll and host on my own. Now its doing much better than the success I had with Dev.to, I still syndicate the posts here, since I gathered a good following here and didn't want to disappoint them.
Overall Dev.to needs to address the quality issue so that it doesn't become like Medium
