I agree that success in the meaning of high upvotes is only possible if you know the right people, those with the 'big upvotes' but if it's true it doesn't matter what you write, what your text look like I say: why bother?
Why write yourself, why fight those who use AI and so on?
By the way, I interact a lot, I host a contest and commend, upvote and read each post not once but even 2 to 3 times. This contest only takes me over 20 hours a week!
Guess how many of all those people ever read, commented and/or upvoted me?
