First off, I'm going, to be honest with you. It is extremely hard, but this is no different than any other social media network. Growing an interested and engaged audience is really damn hard. 98% of people on any social network will fail.
Following 32,000 people is problem number 1. You just absolutely destroyed your feed. There is no way to make sense of anything at that level. I am very selective who I follow, I like my feed to represent things I care about and am interested in, not a firehose of everything posted to Steemit. Your feed likely looks like going to New, which honestly makes me cringe when I see it. The majority of content on Steemit is junk, it's just zero effort dribble to suck the reward pool. With 32,000 people being followed, I imagine your feed is very similar. Without using programming, I'm not sure how you can unfollow that many people easily. I'm going to say your best bet is to make a new account and start over. I know it sucks, but if you are long term, then you are going to want to follow people you care about.
I've looked at your posts (some of them, only spent a minute or so), and although you won't like my feedback, it is important aspect about Steemit.
A lot of your posts are what I call low effort, a picture and maybe 1-2 lines of text. While a good portion of Steemit does this, it isn't going to build you an audience. On the other hand, a majority of Steemit doesn't bother to read or even look at posts, and just games the system, so it is sort of a catch 22. You do post photographs, if they are yours (don't be offended, a large majority of photos on Steemit are stolen) they are fantastic. As a photographer myself, I appreciate the quality of the images. The ones I saw had great composition, but I personally am more of a reader on Steemit and looking at art is more of if I see it sort of thing.
I personally prefer posts that with thought and a lot of effort put into them. Unfortunately, this is very difficult early on because no one is listening. I used to think every post I made went into a black hole. Persistence pays off, but can take a while to get noticed. Your reputation is low enough you have a chance of being picked up by @curie and @ocd, which can provide a large boost that will make the 10-20 other posts you made balance out.
One thing that was very successful for me, is to network with others in communities. A lot of what goes on in Steemit isn't on Steemit but is on Discord & Steemit.chat where many of us hang out and chat. Finding others with similar interests is a huge help.
You are fairly new here, only a month, and it is still early. Steemit has a lot of garbage to wade through, but there are people here that do read and care about good content. It just takes a lot of time to find them. When you do, it will be worth it.
I am no whale, but I can give you a decent upvote to help you on your way.

Thank you so much for your imput little bit of friendly criticism goes a long way I'll try to take your advice the best I can I probably won't start a new account though but I will start thinning out the people I'm following and pick follow more people in areas that interest me such as photography

I take the same approach on Steemit as I do on Twitter and other social media. I don't want a firehose of endless garbage. I want a hyperfocused stream of stuff I care about. So I tend to follow fewer people than most. I typically follow someone based on two things.
But #2 will sometimes get purged if there is a lot of things I find I am not interested in. Not because I don't like them anymore, but it is a more efficient use of my time.

The ones that follow you are generally largely follow for follow and offer no value. But the amount of users you follow I think scorched earth and starting over will produce more fruit.

I hear you, I'm a week in, not much return, a few cents here and there but no matter how much i may have "screwed up" I wouldnt completely start over at this point. Too much time. Its like this one post I read, maybe your post only made $5 but the actual value may be double or triple that and as Steemit grows having some growth is better than nothing which starting from scratch feels like. #minnow here so take it or leave it 😁 best of luck to you and me 😅

Im a few months old on steemit and i believe the answer is through providing original content or through curating content. Another answer would be to find the community that suits you and interact with the steemians whom have been here longer. The whole minnow/whale formula is i think key to growth. Im following you, all best.

Upvote everyones posts that are following you especially those with a lot of original content (like mine) and comment on them try & make comments original by varying what you say. Make your own posts original shoot from the hip make it up as you go along. With 2400 people following you if you upvote all their posts & just make even a short original comment on it you will make a bomb in the next week. You don't even need to read their posts properly to get the gist of it and come up with a nice original comment.

I believe there's a certain number of times a day you can vote. I'm not sure how all the math works out on it, but i did find a useful tool for knowing how low i am on voting power. Steemworld.org
You put in your username and it will show you all kinds of data about your account, even adds upcoming author rewards for you. It doesn't need your password or anything, just compiles all the public info for you.
My kids are about to wake up, but when i come back on here later I'll link you to some tutorials and stuff that's helped me. I haven't made a whole lot either, but I'll try to help you if I can. 😀

Apparently someone with a good "wallet" upvoted your post :) ..
I'm also new here... my account is 2 months old, but only recently I started posting & putting some effort here.
What I learnt so far:
We need to provide original high quality content.
I don't think one's post must be long, it is up to the writer! Sometimes short writings with meaningful words are the best! I disagree with people who say you must write a lot..
I also learnt that you shouldn't waste your upvotes.. upvote only the posts that you think are really worth it .. because you upvote's worth lessens when you spend more of it, if you don't want to lose it spend only 10 upvotes a day, or something like that.
On www.steemnow.com you can see your account's worth, upvote's worth.. & the time needed to refill the vote power.
& on steemit chat there is a group for post promotion, in which you can share a link to any of your posts every 2 hr, so more people can see it.
I think we need to have common interests with our friends followers if we want them to interact with us & our posts here...
I talked too much 😬
Steem on my friend
Good luck for us 💪🏻

Wow! @jakyyou23 Thanks, haha not too exciting to look at but stoked it even exists. Not sure what I did wrong... but seriously grateful you took time to do that, thank you. So I have been liking and resteeming things and upvoting often, quite often I feel. So if I wait to refill 100% then how many times should I upvote on things? And is it ok to comment and resteem as many things as I want or will that affect me too? Boy there sure is a learning curve.

You're welcome! I'm grateful it helped ;)
Well, resteeming & commenting is good for your reputation on steemit, upvoting has to be more selective as it affects your voting power.. you can see the portion of the voting power on steemnow, & how it changes when you upvote something..
as a beginner & low reputation my upvote worth is not high at all, even when I have 100% vote power I only give the post 0.01$ ... but as you can see, people with thicker wallets & higher reputations have a higher upvote worth.
That's what I understood from the steemit world till now 😁

There is a time rule to stop bots if a post is upvoted straight away they know it's probably a bot doing the voting so you get more from genuine people. Take this post for eg Because you made the post yesterday & people are still commenting on it means you will earn more for it. So a post with loads of upvotes all within the first half hour will be worth less than one you put say a week ago that get's a decent comment a week later. It's actually really fair you can't cheat it. They are paying for originality both from the curator that makes the post and comment maker... Kerching.
