Hey, I'm Oatmeal Joey, and yeah, people are joining Steem each day and it is tough for people to see better content in the mix of the rising distraction of everything. On the other hand, you may sometimes get some followers, I mean not just normal followers but hard-core followers, as in fans, like a cult following. For me, I'm following about 40 people and I will try my best to go to my home feed which will only show posts from those 40 or so people. I try my best to only follow people I really want to follow as opposed to the following game thing just to get more followers in return. So, maybe if you are lucky, some of your followers will sometimes look you up or see you somewhere.
Yeah, it seems maybe unfair as it is tough to be seen but it is not always impossible> We can only do wht we can do an make the most of whatever we may have in the moment and we should not take too many this for granted and be happy with some of what we do get and we just got to work hard and everything. It takes luck and a lot of hard work to be popular or whatever.
