I used to blog and share it. Sharing on HN is a waste as your account will get shadow banned for posting to the same domain in a row, so you have to spread it out between sharing random other links which feels scummy.
Sharing it on Reddit will likely get you banned/removed from a subreddit. Sharing it on dev.to will get you almost no views and maybe one comment from newbie developers. Never tried sharing on Twitter as I don't have one, but I imagine it's like sharing on anything else.
Sharing on LinkedIn works for engagement in groups if your topic is relevant to groups, but I found people will engage with my post (thumbs up, comment, etc) but very few people actually click the link and read your post.
Most traffic comes from Google, and I have no idea if those readers got what they came for.
I ultimately stopped writing and sharing. I removed all of my writing. I don't think it's worth the time or effort unless I find a better reason to write/share.
If you want people to find your content and read it, it's probably the wrong reason.
