I found that in my first couple weeks, I gatjered WAY more followers from comments than posts. I'm about a month in, and have almost hit the 100 follower mark!

Often times, newer users can even EARN way more via commenting than posting. Posts typically only get seen by followers, and followers of followers if you're producing content that gets resteemed. Commenting gives you exposure from a very large pool of users. Those who like the way you think will surely follow and upvote when you DO start producing regular content.
