Hey there!

While we appreciate you sharing posts here, please see DEV's Content Policy available in our Terms and be careful not to share content that is too promotional. The terms state:

Users must make a good-faith effort to share content that is on-topic, of high-quality, and is not designed primarily for the purposes of promotion or creating backlinks.

Going forward, be careful to avoid sharing articles that are too promotional in nature. While it's generally okay to promote your product, business, personal brand, etc., just make sure that the posts you share have value beyond promotion.

If promotion is your primary goal, then consider signing up for Pro Tools which gives you access to:

  • Billboards for advertising,
  • Analytics to see advanced stats on your posts
  • And more!

Hope you understand our reason for limiting promotional content and that you continue to enjoy DEV!
