That all being said I would agree that post quality is dipping, as you rightly say, this because there are now lots of people on the platform but I'm not really sure raising the bar of entry is the solution.
Well, I need to agree, yet there's may be another solution to work on articles quality by motivating devs to write more ambitious pieces.
I guess, we could inspire from hashnode and introduce some challenges, which could embrace community (I think special events and what have you learned this week are great at this). The sense of competition and earning some kind of respect for bringing quality content to the platform would be rewarding and encouraging to write about more advanced topics.
This in conjunction with mentioned in comments setting the level of article advancement and user preferences could result in curated feed matching readers interests.
Additionaly, I think the best content is usally written on personal blogs because of full control over the platform. Maybe such challenges would encourage top technical writers to more often syndicate content to dev.to
