Athlete branding help

SO as the title says im posting on socials stuff about fight sports as im an athlete myself. I post every day at least once. Ive got like 1k followers and 130k total likes in 4 months of posting daily (ive missed only 3 days). My most viral videos are general debate such as : Describe your fav fighter without telling his name, which hit 300k views and may comments. The thing is my goal is to brand myself and reach out to sponsors when I hit 10k and my most viral vids are just debate ones and not something about ME. (My fight highlights and some personal vids have like 20-60k views and some educational slideshows got 30-80k views). My question is; what would you think am I doing wrong? Like ive seen people on the same niche just get millions of views on their first vids which is crazy, while i get just normal views and every now and then i get some large spikes. Should I make a new account? My vids are 6-9s and I tend to write just smth relatable or about me on screen (except for the debate/question vids) and I post some pure training clips as well. My hooks are alr , I always start from a good part and not smth boring too. What's an engagement trick Im not using that I should be?

Lost in R'lyeh: My Call of Cthulu Review (as my first lovecraftian tale)

Just my opinion in Tl;DR : Yes, I love yapping. Basically its three stories connecting to each other leading to a conclusion and more info uncovered as you read. First story felt boring and interesting at start and as I began the second one I liked it more. I liked a lot the second story and fell in love with the last which made me appreciate the other too as well.

And a small context of the stories in TL;DR : The main character's uncle dies, he searches some of his documents. First story is about some dreams that led emotionally sensitive people to madness, and an artist visiting the MC's uncle at that period. That artist dreams about a bas-relief clay of a weird entity. Second story is an investigation of a cult at a swamp that chants over a stone idol, the same as the one in the before mentioned dreams. Third story is peak won't say anything else.

Long Review/Yapping: First of all hi! I learnt about Lovecraft through Cthulu, who has been mentioned in games I've played in the past such as DnD, Terraria, Call of the Sea etc... So I was searching about Cthulu's story and found out about lovecraft. I like ranting a lot and probably I will be reviewing every single story I read just because I like reviewing lol. It could also help any person who is new to cosmic horror decide if they want to read it or not!
The stars are right, so let the review commence. :
The CoC (Call of Cthulu) narrative is not a singular tale, it is a grim triptych. They are three different documents/reports studied by Francis Wayland Thurston a nephew who inherited the said documents by his uncle, professor George Gammel Angell, who met his demise at the winter of 1926. Not gonna lie, the first two stories took me some time to read and understand the concept due to the heavy and archaic language Lovecraft used, however his purpose is to describe the indescribable so who can blame him.
The first testimony is about a period that people around the globe would have strange dreams of cyclopean cities made of green slime. His uncle as well a newly introduced artist named Wilcox, who visited Angell, are victims of the said dreams too, with Wilcox while half asleep dreaming of a high detailed sculptured bas-clay of a figure of a creature that's a mix between a dragon, a human and an octopus. (small note: this global madness affects mostly mentally ill, unstable or sensitive people). After reading the first story I was weirdly hooked and confused at the same time. I had so many unanswered questions which made me feel like a part of the mystery too.
The second report is a tale about an inspector that discovers a dark ritual in the deep swamps of Louisiana were a cult of the degenerate chant to a stone idol , and simultaneously revealing a global conspiracy that predates the memory and even the existence of man itself. The story itself is pretty interesting, helped me connect the dots to the previous story consisting the said dreams of madness.
The last story is the most climatic, the build up through the last two made me anticipate to uncover more about about the nephew, the stars, Cthulu and the sunken city mentioned which were answered here. I on purpose wont tell you anything about the last story as I believe it's something you should read by yourself. It seems like an interesting introduction to the Cthulu mythos. Cthulu is one of the most famous characters and I would definitely recommend this story to be your first. Am I right? Probably not as I've seen people recommend other stories to start with but that's just what I chose to read first lol. My current rating of it is 9/10 I really loved it , the stories were short but due to the heavy description and vocabulary it felt larger than it was, however, it made me picture the whole scenery in a really precise manner and the atmosphere build up was crazy in all three stories, especially the second and third. The first story was feeling flat at first but after beginning the second one I appreciated even more. If I said anything wrong about the tale let me know and I'll edit it right away! I would like to see other peoples' opinions too about this tale! Lastly I hope you liked the review or at least considered it okay-ish! Have a nice day/night <3

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!

(Next read will be The Shadow over Innsmouth so I'll post my review when I finish it, thanks to all recommendations in my previous post btw)

Recommendations after The Call for Cthulu??

So long story short ilI was playing Terraria and was feeling curious about Cthulu, then learnt about lovecraft and picked the call of cthulu as my first and got hooked. What should my next one be? Is there like a linear lore to all that or all lovecraft stories are standalone? Regardless of that, what would you recommend me as my next one?
