I used to be able to read the latest posts because, let's be honest: The Top feed is filled with useless, brainless listicles, and the featured feed becomes rather repetitive during they course of the day. So I used to browse the Latest feed the most.
Nowadays, what one can see is endless articles about asbestos, asbestos lawyers and a few how-to's on how to upgrade airplane tickets. It seems that Dev.to developers are incapable of finding a solution to this nonsense and for me, Dev.to is no longer an enjoyable place to find development-related content.
At the pace SPAM is overtaking the website, I believe it is no longer worth coming here every day. Maybe once or twice a week and read the Featured feed so it doesn't get repetitive.
What do you guys think? Is this boat sinking like the Titanic, or can it still be saved?

My experience is that most of the articles on dev.to are as useless as the SPAM - so I am not reading dev.to as it is not worth to ... Just taking a look once in a half year and trying to guess from the titles and descriptions if it worth attention, what mostly fails to detect useless or over-advertising content, anyway.
I suppose that boats like this are not vulnerable like Titanic and unsinkable no matter how large the iceberg and the speed they bump into it ...if they were, they would already had been sunk.
I am glad to have the space to publish some content on the Internet for free ... and happy with what it is, no matter how bad spam or else pollution with crap becomes.
Ah, I thought I'm the only one who couldn't enjoy Dev.to articles anymore since the spam attacks! It's been days.
