It was never a go to platform for programmers blogs. It’s the worst platform for programming blogs. The way comments work makes it impossible to have kind of coherent conversation.

Who wants to be seen along with thinly sliced salami articles that almost have something to say, desperate content marketers who are writing articles like "Does your API Need a Content Marketing Strategy?" and who are amazed that they got 35 people to view their steaming Turd Emoji?

I think it's gone through what TEDx has gone through. Their latest strategy to try and get my money has been the nail in the coffin for my use of the platform.
