Hi @ben,

I'm genuinely curious how does the Top articles algorithm works?
Because i see that this post got more reactions + comments than the posts above, but still ranked lower 😀

Clearly there is another factor involved. Or maybe, is it based on the views? 🤔

Sure, it's easy. People or organizations create bounties on open-source project issues and developers resolve the issues and claim the bounty.

Reading the text I was suspicious that it was AI generated. After pasting an excerpt in scribbr.com/ai-detector/ it returned that it has a 100% chance of being AI generated.

The excerpt (TL;DR) is indeed generated by AI. Some generic texts also generated by AI..
but overall idea, article structure, main content are 100% being researched and done manually.
I spent the whole day to write this article, to make sure it gives accurate information and easy to read.
AI dont know about my experience. It also dont know to put related links to my other articles or to affiliate products.
If you think AI can 100% do it as you claim, why dont you prove it by generating similar article like this? 🙂

What honestly does it matter?

This article was well put together and you can definitely tell that there was thought and research put into it. If someone takes all their experiences and research and run it through an AI, how would that be any different if they hired a writer from Fiverr to do the same?

AI involvement or not this article is 100%the work of the author. I just honestly don't understand what you goal was here! Just trying to screw other people up? If so, go somewhere else and do that...

You're welcome, it's just something I don't understand..

We have been given a new tool and then other people act like we shouldn't use it. The same people would use a drag and drop website builder or even a template and call themselves web developers. "It's a tool"! Even in real world scenario, if I build a house and use a hammer then did then hammer build the house or should I have banged the nails in with my fist to say it was my accomplishment? Just bugs me!

Either way thank you for the article and as always...

Happy Venturing 😎

Great article @syakirurahman! 😊 The tips you’ve provided are pretty useful. Do you have an example of the strategies that you’ve mentioned(e.g., a Dev.to article where the writer effectively describes that they are currently looking for a job, or offering their products/services.)? That would give readers a more concrete idea on how to implement your suggestions. 😊

This is a long article (almost 2.5k words). Consider bookmark it first or go to the original post to read with Table of Contents

I wrote a tutorial on how to add a table of contents to your Dev.to articles. Hope you find it helpful. 😊

Hi @cbid2, Thank you for your comment.
Sure, it goes like:

"Hi there 👋 ! [Your Name] here, a [Your Profession] specializing in [key skill or expertise]. I'm on the lookout for new opportunities to make an impact and grow. Check out my work at [Your Portfolio Website or GitHub Profile Link]. Let's connect and create something awesome together!"

PS: you can use AI to generate a catchy introduction paragraph like this :D

By the way, thanks for sharing your article. I just know that markdown support table of content
