Well , my dear, I understand your plight. I have faced that before.

But let me tell you, Hive is a human based interaction blockchain not BOTS. If you don't make friend with me, there is no way I will be pleased to support your post especially if I don't know you.

Check my blog and you will see that I am also experiencing same, infact I even thought of leaving hive but I realized the fact that I can network with people here.

And with that I even learnt a lot. Initially I don't even know how to structure a content but I learnt it here. At some point I feel people who have built thier account to standard actually went through same. Its just that engagement in other peoples post just like you want for yours is the true key.
