Hi, @andiloveall! It hasn't always been this way and this is what I struggle with but I'm sure the Steemit community will find a way to alleviate the growing pains. I would suggest perusing the tags that you're interested in "writing", "art", and "meditation" and seeing which Steemians you connect with then start engaging in comments (as you did here). Most often others reciprocate. This is definitely how you grow your readership organically and in genuine directions. There's no lack of talent on the platform, it just takes some searching to find it. @opheliafu is an example of a phenomenal and prolific artist.
