Is it just me, or has anyone noticed that articles on dev.to don't get as many reads/views as they used to before?
Especially with the new metrics dashboard, it's even harder to actually differentiate sources.
I know that since the rise of AI, more and more people have replaced actually reading with AI snippets or AI summaris. This means a generally reduced audience in technical articles.
I won't even deny not being one of such people myself. I don't read half as much as I used to... And thanks to Google's SERP AI, I have whatever answer I need in seconds.
But the decline in reach on dev.to, even for ranking on SERPs, is rather surprising. Almost as though it isn't being recognized as an authority in the technical article world.
This is probably just me. But I'd like to know if anyone else has noticed this.
