I am curious... if you don't look at your feed, then what is the point of following? To make people feel good? Then they re-follow you and don't look at their feed also?

I'm following to get a bigger following of my own. Those people I follow are active steemers with a rank so that they are not spammers and might engage with me. I don't know how many people look at who followed them, so I don't know if they get any feels out of it.
Some other people definitely do follow me just because I followed them.
I have no idea how anyone looks at their feed with more than 10 people on it here so I disregard it as I said. I do have one guy who only keeps about 15 followed for that reason and I'm one of them, so I feel good about that.
I think the only way I can connect with people here is with good posts that I promote in my other social media. For example I have a good steemer twitlist and we all rt and resteem each other out there. I'm also in about 50 fb groups for sharing steem posts so I do that and get good results.
The other way I connect is by making about 30 comments a day and those are all on people I follow. If they like my comment, they might follow me and sometimes do.
When I get to ### people following me, maybe things will change and people will see me without promos, but I don't know how.
After doing this for about 7 weeks I have followed about 70% of active posters already. So if I go to a post with 20 commenters - I might follow 3-4 and the others I already follow.
I found my feed completely random as to time and topic and I just couldn't use it after the first few days.
