It's all about trial and error! Sometimes the thing that you think is going to work, doesn't and the thing that you think is basic, outshines everything else.
Engagement is more important than follower growth. It's more important for existing followers to see and interact with content (which in turn will boost it further in the algorithm) than it is to have a massive following where no one engages with posts. Higher engagement is a better ROI.
