I understand your desire to be seen by more people. I too have made a post on it. The new feed is nice to watch from time to time to meet new people. But the main idea is to follow only the people who make posts that interest you. When more people start doing that instead of following everyone in hopes of getting a follower in return(like most people do on Twitter and Instagram. Including me) I think the platform will benefit for it. Just think if all the people your following have similar interests to you then everyday when you log on you will get relevant and useful posts in your feed. I'm still learning Steemit as well so thank you for the post.
I guess what I'm saying is that few of my followers' post I'm really interested in just get burried there. I don't want to miss out on their posts so I unfollowed some people.
You are right, I should be probably find time to look for people to follow, who are posting something that interests me.
Thanks for reading!
