This is my take. Write whatever you enjoy, forget about hearts and unicorns lol.
I try to do this as much as is practical!
Good content will speak for itself. Just look at how many views this article got compared to your previous
book review article.
There are a lot of reasons this got less reviews. I didn't post this on Twitter or Reddit (Reddit brought nearly 28k of my 36k views on the book post). Also I don't think good content speaks for itself, unfortunately.
Imo dev.to is not like Twitter where you cater to your followers. Here you write, enjoy, and your followers enjoy it with you.
Agreed, it's much less toxic in that way.
Thanks for taking the time to give me feedback. I often see you participate in my posts and discussions and I always appreciate your words. Look forward to talking to you again in the future.
In regards to content speaking for itself you might be right. It depends when you release it (day/time), share it, dev.to algorithm pushing it to top, trendiest topics, how many followers like/retweet, etc. Probably way too many variables.
I've read some bad ass articles here with zero comments, I'm just like what?
And you are very welcome. I have found this community very welcoming as opposed to others, so I try to engage as much as possible.
Part of the reason why I write is when I am learning something new, I think of it as a diary for me later on. Maybe I'll get zero hearts but it will be there for me later on lol.
