I was interested in this but my first thought was "what happens the day that dev.to gets monetized ?" and my second one was "who owns dev.to ?".

WRT the first one "Yes, you own the rights to the content you create and post on dev.to and you have the full authority to post, edit, and remove your content as you see fit." which on the surface seems a lot better than many crowd contributer situations.

WRT the second one I still don't know and if there's a wikipedia page for dev.to I can't find it.

On the whole dev.to seems better than medium, for now at least, and more approachable than using gists.

Actually this https://dev.to/about describes the "leadership" although it doesn't say straight out who owns it.

But dev.to already is monetized? They are not a charity. They are open source a d make money with job postings, sponsorships and sponsored posts.
