Medium doesn't work like bluesky or ex-twitter. Try writing consistently interesting stuff to get followed. If you're curious about the world, write for your slightly-younger self who doesn't know that cool 'whatever' yet.
The other side of that is that if you follow writers you find worth reading you don't have to use the 'for you' feed; instead you can use 'following'. And yes, IMO Robert Roy Britt is very much worth following, maybe do that while you're here.
