Is it possible that you can get more upvotes and exposure to your posts without using clickbaits and negative psychological tricks ?

It's been a while since I've been writing on steemit. I'm pouring my heart and soul into writing the original content, formatting it and searching for the graphics. I spend days and hours into writing my posts (like many other real bloggers).

I want to keep things real and I avoid using psychological tricks and clickbaits just to get my posts noticed. I tend to avoid such practices since I believe clickbaits only annoys people and only gullible ones fall into such traps.
I also believe that such practices will never lead to preserve anything that is worth preserving instead it will just stack up irrelevant junk.

So here I am asking whoever is actually reading this to tell me if there is a way out there to get some views and if possible a few upvotes that would generate some $ as reward to your spent time? I am not whining I'm just trying to understand what am I missing here besides the cheap tricks and traps to get people click on my posts.

Why am I disappointed?
steemit.com/science/@kissofearth/theory-of-the-beginning-of-the-matter-and-the-existence-a-work-in-progress-introduction. That's the link to my last post and I'm sure it is going to fade away without even being noticed by anybody like many many other posts in the past.

So if there is a way out there that I'm obviously missing kindly let me know.

Hard work always wins in the end, steem on, my friend, now following you

Thanks for the follow and kind comment but I know from my experience hard work never works only clickbaits does, I just don't wanna follow that deceiving approach, I just can't do it

what do you see as a good alternative to the two massively different approaches

To go with the flow and stop caring about genuinity like most others and make things up and give people what they want? But even if I try this defies the purpose in a long run, I will never be comfortable with that approach. It works for sure but that's not what I'm striving.

How do you plan to make what you are striving for work?

To be honest I don't know, hence the post. I'm still missing something obvious I can almost feel it but I can't point my finger at it just yet

If you were to do one thing to move you in the right direction today, what would that be?

I appreciate your time and efforts and your unconditional kindness but trust me I'm not depressed or upset. I just wanna know what am I missing, am I being censored or something else is blocking my posts from getting some exposure.

Are you suffering from acute retardation? Cos if you are then I can appreciate your effort to at least try to make a joke.
