One month, 15 articles, 17k reads and... 7 clicks? My troubles with Hackernoon

So I just wrapped up my first month of writing on Hackernoon and I must say it is a... weird platform. I've been featured on the front page, had my writing sent out in the digest email, and had more than 17,000 tech people read my guides. https://twitter.com/mikeyoung44/... Despite all this, Hackernoon posts get comically low traffic. A few examples: https://twitter.com/mikeyoung44/... https://twitter.com/mikeyoung44/... https://twitter.com/mikeyoung44/... Most articles are tutorials on how to use various technologies, and then I just mention Replicate Codex as a resource. Here's an article that hit the front page of Hackernoon: https://notes.replicatecodex.com... ... I posted this on multiple platforms. (original HN article: https://hackernoon.com/turning-a...) Anyone know what's driving this? Do I just suck at writing for this platform? The goal of the article is to inform, not purely promote, but even little dev.to (a much smaller website) drives more traffic for the same content. Are HN's view stats inflated? Is the audience weird? Is there something going on with how their traffic is calculated in Google Analytics? Something else? What do you think?
