Let's hope Dev.to won't keep going that way. I personally never hang out here anymore. The signal/noise ratio is so bad I'd have better chances to get interesting dev insight from a broken TV.
Oh dear! I totally agree about the signal/noise ratio, but I think it would be unfair to ditch DEV altogether, as there is still a lot of good content (even if you're not an aspiring React developer).
I tend to ignore any kind of activity feed, be it chronological or algorithmic. Just have a look at f***book and twitter. Feeds like that might be valuable for moderators and curators, but otherwise we need search, tags or categories, and manual curation and linking.
I hope I made my point that much of the "noise" from an experienced perspective can be full of valuable insights for beginners, but I doubt that all of them are able to distinguish the valueable ones from the bullshit, and that trying to weed out low-quality content the StackOverflow way is not a good alternative either.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Thanks for continuing on this discussion.
