You're either not providing any value, or you're not getting your notes in front of people who would value them.

Assuming your issue is the latter, how do you get your notes in front of #Nostriches who will value them on #Nostr, where we don't have algorithms to do this for us? There are at least 2 ways.
1. Find people who are already posting about the things you want to post about, then put in the #ProofOfWork by interacting with them and interacting with those who interact with them. Build a reputation of having QUALITY replies, and people will start following you who are interested in what you have to say. Better yet, you'll probably start getting zapped for your replies, if they add value to the discussion.
2. Use RELEVANT hashtags. Very little will get you muted by me and others around here than if you start using popular hashtags just because they are popular, when they have NOTHING to do with your post. Don't use the AskNostr hashtag when you aren't asking a question. Don't use the GrowNostr hashtag when you are posting about Bitcoin. Look at the hashtags people who are talking about a given topic are already using, which you should be well aware of if you followed the advice in point 1, and start using those.
Bonus: Don't expect from others what you aren't giving yourself. You want engagement on your posts? Engage with others more than you post yourself. You want zaps? Zap others regularly. No one respects folks who have sent 1k in zaps, but have received 5k. Same goes for your ratio of original posts to replies.
"But Dikaios1517, then I won't ever be making a profit from Nostr. I will constantly be spending more sats than I am receiving."
Yes. Recognize that others are collectively providing you far more value than you are providing to everyone else. This is the way it should be.
