Three things

Everything requires time, as you haven't been on Steemit that long. Of course fast success would be perfect for any of us :)

Secondly, sometimes you'll need some extra work to be noticed. I found some of my best followers by reaching out to others.

Third, you can't really directly tell what is quality and what is not. Quality is what fits the "customers" need, in this case, whatever the reader is happy about. Be it witty memes about Steemit or in-depth analysis about vaccination.
