To those who want to grow their accounts
Tl, dr: Stop asking for followers.
This works like the world often does: You get what you ask for. If you're looking for a stunning partner, you will most likely find one. They might be terrible for you or any relationship, but they look amazing while breaking your life.
So of you want followers, thats what you get - random acts of kindness by indifferent strangers, bots, and trolls.
If you want to make your work more popular, make better things and engage with people that are interested in it. But stop treating this sub like a dating app.
