It would probably help newbies grow an audience, which is frustrating. Been active here for months. My comments get likes, zaps and positive comments from the posters and others. I post interesting things, but still under 20 followers, some bots, so I feel like no one sees my posts. Maybe I don't get how it works. Then a popular kid posts any random thought and gets tons of immediate interaction. At this point I would pay to be seen, but I have no idea why I even care at all. Must be mental illness.

lol, we are social beings through and through. Rejecting that or shaming ourselves for it is silly, imo. Theres no reason for me to speak if there’s no one listening. (Granted I do talk to myself a lot 😂) But this was part of my thinking too, being able to cross some of the natural barriers to the tighter social connections in a protocol controlled by each user’s personal filters.

You have an imbalance of posts vs replies IMHO.
I've just been here for a bit, but I think buzzbot is great. I don't mind sharing some sats to get more people's attention. I'm trying to be myself while sharing the totally unbelievable story of my life. Post interesting original stuff and repost it with a buzz later.
This resonates with me too! I kind of stopped using Nostr for a couple of months and came back, and see that I get more likes and comments. Is that because more people are using it?
Yes, let's say I went there too a few months ago. Followers here don't count it's true... but it's frustrating to spend hours here posting, replying and sharing and seeing that no one calculates you 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ probably the lack of an algorithm
