RE: How To Handle The "Upvote" Beggars? - One Of My BIGGEST Problems On Steemit. [Feature Request: Make Articles INVISIBLE.]
I have asked for one set of articles to be upvoted by select friends that follow me, as I am doing a fund raiser on my posts about a friends daughter who disappeared just over 8 months ago and was found murdered on the 20th of last month. They are struggling to pay for the funeral. Though a bunch of us have made a big dent with the little bit we have been able to do. That is the only time I have asked for upvotes and to be resteemed and only on fund raisers for others would I even ask, then only my friends I have already, not strangers. How rude can people get. people follow you because they like your content. Or at least I hope that is why they are following me, that is why I am following those I am following
There's nothing wrong with asking for upvotes in the proper channels and definitely not a problem to ask your friends for upvotes. - That's how social media is supposed to work.
We have #minnowsupport on Discord, for minnows who wants upvotes. A bot upvotes whatever article you want, to get you some rewards for your work. We also have #steemspeak on Discord where you'll be able to post your articles in #postpromotion. Then we have Steem.chat. Another way to ask for upvotes by posting them in the proper channels. - All these things are great and acceptable in every single way.
Steemit and the community gives you basically every single tool you need, to help you in the best possible way... - But Steemit or the Community can't do everything for you. - You'll need to contribute and provide quality to be rewarded. - And that is the biggest problem for these people. They want the rewards without putting in work.
I totally agree, I have gotten a few like that myself on Steem chat, I haven't had it happen yet on discord. But I am not on that one much, I been too busy taking photos and blogging about them and reading other peoples posts. Upliking the ones I like and resteeming those I think deserve a share.
