It seems as if you haven't read or understood the article you are commenting on Sshreagi. I know it is hard when you first start out on Medium but asking people to follow you and read is just not the way to go here. If you want people to check out your work you need to find writers whose work you enjoy, then engage with them in the response section by commenting on their work. You may need to do this a few times for each writer. Some will reciprocate and check out what you have written. But not all.

You could also check out the publication Reciprocal which is for newbies and engages in read for read i think.

There is a bit more information here:
