1. Don't re-steem everything you see

Exactly, only the ones others could pick up something from please - I follow some authors and sometimes there's too much resteemed articles I can't find theirs anymore and the sad part is -sometimes those authors have tastier articles to read than what they have resteemed.
Please add Don't straightforwardly ask for SD - I've experienced once.
I'm normally very generous with my upvotes because I have experienced the very same generosity from everybody so - I normally click 100% just to help a new author because I've walked that path - and it was discouraging to go on not to be noticed so I scour on posts of new authors and I am not the only one who does that - but when someone bluntly asks directly for SD - I wonder if it's just me but I really lost my appetite helping that author.
We do lurk in others wallet I suppose because that incident happen right after I've sent a few people SD not to bribe them but I have a crypto managing system and 10% of what I get - is alloted on my "give jar" which I learned from my mentor. I gave it to a few starting authors as a gift to encourage them but those certain authors have awesome posts and I got that on one of my post's comment thread.
P.S. I have been guilty of doing some of what you wrote ahahaha - cheeks turning red while reading them #1, 5, 11, 12, 13, 14 and maybe more
