It's mostly about networking/socializing. Which was one of my first posts.

Build your base “tribe”.

Put the effort in content/creation next. It cascades, organically. It may take time (so does gaining traffic for Adsense bucks) but it will happen. And keep commenting, no need to comment on everything just make sure people occasionally see you left and right.

It’s all about socializing, really. And not insulting those gained follows with incessant shitposts. Not about how much stake you have, that attract flies like it were shit.
