For me, I wanted an alternative to medium which is also a blogging system with a (possible) paywall. However I always felt like that if you write there, your content won't be owned by the author but rather by medium because they may decide that you'll be behind a paywall. Medium also allows you to build up or get into a community that focuses on developing (Microsoft Data Platform in my case) but dev.to is much more focused on this.
I like the community here and the fact that you potentially could use a CI/CD system to publish your articles so that you may even have an article in a gist on github. It also integrates Twitter very well.
The reason why I am motivated to write at all? Well, I like to interact with a community and to learn or to teach in it. When I've learnt something in my career is this: Even if you're most senior, you will always be learning in this industry regardless if it is from another senior, professional or even beginners! This is why having poeple around you to discuss or just to read is so much fun!
I also publish on Medium sometimes but I feel the exposure is somehow bigger here. But this must be because Medium is not focused on technical writing only so maybe your articles get lost in a huge sea of many diverse topics. The community here is great, I agree. Thank you for the input :).
