Thanks for sharing this story! I think it can help others choose the right way for them to host their articles. I was myself deciding 3-4 months ago between Hashnode.dev and Dev.to
I'm happy about my decision :)
I wish you all the best in your blogging!
This is so unfortunate and heart-breaking! I'm sorry you've had to face things like these. Wishing you better luck for the future. Keep doing what you do best, kudos.

I had a similar experience recently on my article about my Journey into open source. I was able to get over 1k views on hashnode whereas on Dev.to I didn't even cross 100 views π€§ I am not even sure why this happened but felt really bad.
