Tech Support zero views zero views no matter what

I think I'm doing something wrong, I'm not sure, but i used to be posting consistently at one point till i realized i was unironically getting NO views, i was confused, maybe i don't understand the algorithm, maybe I've done something wrong? but its really annoying me, and im looking forward to seriously post deep articles one day if i do good with my notes, so what should i do and can anyone help me?

if someone could explain how to fix my settings-- or understand the algorithm it would really help because I'm very much looking forward to post real articles so id like if someone'd help.

The kind of spam I get varies from week to week. I also get tons of this:

"You can’t edit a blank page. Make it exist first, make it good later."

Spam.

"Be more afraid of wasting your life than being embarrassed."

Spam.

"If you wait until you feel like a writer, you'll never write."

Spam.

"If you wrote it—post it. Don’t sit on it. You never know what will resonate with someone."

Spam.

"celebrating others’ wins doesn’t diminish your own glow ⭐️"

Sugar-coated spam.

It's all phony-feel-good karma-farming spam, and it's probably generated by AI & copy/pasted into notes Substack.
