✴️ The Face I Make When Steemians Bust Out That "Follow Me And I'll Follow You" Comment... The Answer Will Always Be "No" 🤣😂

I Don't Like Begging, Just Produce Great Content. ~ Charles Fuchs

For many of you Steemians, you probably get this on a daily bases... it's called the "Follow Me and I'll Follow You" Comment or even worse, "I upvoted you so upvote me" nonsense. 😳

My answer will always be a huge FAT "NO" or even worse the big old "FLAG" 🚩🤣

You see, if you want to be successful on Steemit... it's much easier to get followers and Upvotes by producing great content and building relationships with people other than begging for them.

Many people who tend to do this "Begging" are usually lazy, gaming the system, or even worse... they brings no value to the community what so ever other than just pissing people off. 🙇🏻‍♀️

So why even do it? 🤷🏼‍♂️

I've been telling people for years, if you want people to like you; don't ever beg. This shows the lack of respect for yourself, how can people respect you if you don't even respect yourself?

So at the end of the day guys, don't use this method of marketing... it might work in the short run but eventually it will be very disastrous on your growth on Steemit.

P.S. Did you like my "MAD FACE"? 🤣 ... Just having a little fun with it today 😀

Have an Awesome Friday Stackers!

It's annoying, right? Those pesky follow for follow requests? I've tried to answer them for a short while with this GIF, you can have it and use it however you want:

However, I must add that the ones who are superficial enough to send these blunt follow for follow messages, usually do not really get the subtle point this gif makes. I'm still thinking of coming up with a GIF thats brings home the message a little more direct, a little more crisp, a little less 'gloves on' approach...

michelle.gent (74) · 7 years ago

I agree with you. I'm getting so many just lately, it's insane.

Comments similar to these:

"Please upvote my blog because it will make me happy and I've been here such a long time (2 weeks... ok... 10 days) and I deserve your upvote..."

"You have such a lot and I have nothing, why should you have all that? It's not fair, is it..."

Pfffft!

Work for it! Research, find great images, make good - or even great content and be patient - or don't, but don't beg.

stackin (78) · 7 years ago

Totally agree @michelle.gent ... it's so funny that I see so many people in life wanting something for nothing for being lazy instead of doing the work. I guess thats why most people fail and don't succeed.

You are one of my go to peeps on Steemit :)

michellectv (62) · 7 years ago (edited)

Haha, word @stackin! Like grifters on the subway, Steemians panhandling for votes and follows just wreaks of laziness!

Nothing comes easy, you gotta teach 'em the hustle!

stackin (78) · 7 years ago

So funny how it works, if I see a person in need without begging, I'm 100% will support them... especially in Vegas when people won't leave you alone asking for money 3-4 times when you say you don't have any 😐

I hate these requests and I hate bot comments. What they don't realize is if you also leave a comment that can add to the value of a post, there is a chance of being rewarded on your comment also. Valuable engagement only adds to the community and may bring you more followers.

It's so true and gets really old. When they are new and I see it I try to guide them a different direction and let them know. Most seem receptive. It sucks when they've been here a while and still do it.

Nice face, it was like "What?!" (in a deep voice) lol

stackin (78) · 7 years ago

They want that high "social status" even though they make posts that has 10k followers but 2 likes. Reminds me of facebook, instagram and youtube where people bought 100k followers for $100 lol

I've seen people do 20 posts a day or better yet a post a minute, it's ridiculous haha

bluelightbandit (61) · 7 years ago

I'm hoping that eventually the people that are pumping out the bulk BS posts will run out of things to post about. I've noticed one particular that is scraping the bottom of the barrel with content but is trying desperately to hook people in with it. He still gets votes doing it though so I guess a few people like it.

I don't need these kind of followers, I might have just a few but I want people to follow me because they like my photo's not because 3000 followers looks good on your profile. There are enough accounts with a few hundred followers and they don't make a dime, I also google check images from people I follow, Copied from Google and I unfollow you (as soon ask you ask them where they took the picture they don't reply 😆 ), not gonna waste my money on copy/paste stuff, Go to facebook for that kinda shit but not in here

dwells (55) · 7 years ago

I have received a few of these types of comments. I reply with this image.

I kind of feel the same way about the upvoting bots. The goal is for the community to produce good content and be paid for that content. If someone can transfer SBD to a bot account and then their posts get auto upvoted it defeats the purpose of the community producing good content for the community. I would rather take a slow and steady growth by gaining real followers and real upvotes than to pay for upvotes.

Now I have nothing against voting trails, because in my experience the voting trail has come from a certain individual (pp are his initials) upvoting my post. That I am ok with because an actual person initiated that. That's just my 2 cents, well 1 cent in my case.

stackin (78) · 7 years ago

Yeah, I just try to avoid the drama around social media. Steemit is so new and I know it's just going to get better everyday :)

dwells (55) · 7 years ago

Yeah I try to avoid drama too. I was bad for getting caught up in drama on Facebook. Like I told papa-pepper when he interviewed me, I'm the type of person to step in and take the brunt of an attack when I see the little guy getting picked on. I quit Facebook and now I just hang out here.

Good post. Though I would argue great content isn't enough. There are plenty of people who post garbage on a regular basis who get follows and upvotes consistently. But it's a good thought in theory.

mandireiserra (66) · 7 years ago

My least favorite begging attempts involved being spammed with the same comment from one of two users (in which one is pushing for the other's services) for me to spend my Steem/SD to buy a resteem.

Uh, sorry. I'd rather people see the merit in what I'm writing and resteem it because they see value in what I'm putting out there, not because I paid someone to pimp it out (and given the low values associated with their resteems, it doesn't seem one would make back what they spent on their "services") because I was that damn desperate for attention.

It's really telling about people's POVs when they try those shenanigans.
