Coincidentally, I recently felt the urge to do a braindump and write a few blogposts. I had learned new things, and it was hard finding that knowlegde, combining sources etc, so I thought I should share it. It is technical content targeted at developers.
My last blogpost was four years old, I wrote it on my company's website, were it got buried after a redesign.
So I opened an account on Medium and did my braindump there. I want to write three posts, have published two now, the last one yesterday. I promoted each one with a single tweet.
I have been happy with the response: the first article got 1000 views, the one posted yesterday already has 4000 views on the first day, probably because it has a broader topic. I got many retweets and likes, and I'm an absolute n00b on twitter. My first post got mentioned in a vlog.
I didn't really know what to expect, but the response seems very good to me. So I do not really share your observation: It seems that there is demand for good technical content. I did spend quite some time researching the topic and trying to write it well, as a non-native english speaker.
I do think good content has to add something new and interesting, shallow or promotional content will have a hard time attracting readership, as there is too much of that.
