You got higher interaction on youtube without doing anything? I find that odd.

This is a blogging platform, and people don't often reach someone's blog unless you interact with other people on their blog. So go around, find people with similar interests. Follow them. Leave insightful comments. That will get them to follow you back.

Here is my reply to someone else with a similar issue

Another general tip is to use ginabot to get notifications for all #gamedev posts.

Good luck.
