dev.to and itnext are in the twitter thread thanking the poster for bringing this to light as if the existence of accounts that do this isn't a major boon to their platforms. dev.to and itnext, just like medium and other such sites are essentially content marketing farms. It is possible that they both dislike that activity and benefit from it, but I couldn't read those tweets without some skepticism. I for one find that most really high quality blog posts I read are not really on medium/dev.to/itnext, unless some large organization has committed to making every employee post there, but rather on small blogs run by people who pay the $5/month or year or whatever to run their own blog. Maybe I just haven't looked around enough.
