What Do You Want To Read/Why You May Not Be Getting Upvotes

Hello steemians! Iggy here with another community question.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO READ?
(I truly want to know to cater to my readers, but first, some observations and ranting below).

It's a pretty straight forward question. Many of us here have many followers, and yet our blog posts only manage to achieve a few upvotes. I, myself, have 141 followers, but my blog has only maxed 19 upvotes in my first week and a half. There are some aspects of this that I understand why such as:

1. Follow 4 Follow. That's right, it's a tactic that most of us commit when we get those stars in our eyes after creating an account. You see the big whales with their hot and/or trending posts that are making $500, $1000, even $2000 and think, "I need a piece of that pie." So, with that notion we set off to follow as many as possible, trying to negotiate a follow in return. Some of us even resort to downright begging. And that leads to issue 2.

2. Buried Posts If you're following a massive amount of people, chances are that they are too. How can you get those upvotes if you're never seen on their feeds? Promoting on the Promotions thread of chat may find you a couple extra upticks, but that post will bury fast itself.

3. Spam Are you getting frustrated that your "Get rich quick" scheme isn't paying off instanly? So then you think maybe you'll get more upvotes/followers if you drop 50 two sentence articles in one day and post them on the chat board every 30 seconds. Yeah, that's gotta work right? Wrong. Everyone here is trying to enjoy their experience while maybe making a little crypto same as you. Spamming them may result in the undesirable effect of being muted, i.e. they never have to see your posts again. You're capital potential just shrunk.

Lastly
4. HF 19 this has been a godsend to the minnow community as our voices are heard louder. Problem is that if you upvote everything you see, your steem power shrinks and your upvote becomes all but a nice gesture. We all still appreciate the acknowledgement, but if you have to take a break so that your vote means something again, you should. I have done this personally the last couple of days as my power shrank to an abysmal 15%.

It takes time, whales didn't get there overnight. Neither will we, without the work and effort within non harassing terms. So write what you want, but bend it to the audiences scope and they will read it.

Ok, rant officially over. Seriously though, what do you want to read?
I would like to earn your upvotes!
