Although I have published 10 posts on dev.to since 2021, the statistics of views of these posts are very demotivating, because they get only a few dozen views for the whole time, up to a maximum of 200. For my posts, I use such popular tags as #node, #nestjs, #typescript (and the unpopular #ditsmod tag).
In general, few articles marked with these tags are published on dev.to per day. If you believe the statistics provided by similarweb, dev.to has 12.4 million visits per month. Given that users are most active on weekdays, we can assume that dev.to has about 12400/22 ~ 560K visits per day.
Thus, all posts on dev.to have approximately 560K visits per day. Unfortunately, I don't know the number of followers to the tags I've specified. But a tag like #node should theoretically have a lot of followers.
So, why is the number of views of posts marked with popular tags so low?
