So, since HF19 there's been discussions on reduced views on posts, and also talk of less up-votes on comments. Now, there is not a lot that can be done if your blog is badly titled, doesn't have a single image, and isn't tagged (well there is, just it's been covered a thousand times so what's the excuse?!), but with regards to getting that elusive .5, 1, 5, 10, or even 76 dollar (damn!) up-vote, there are some techniques, or words, that can be said, and of course some that just aren't going to cut it.
Here are a few examples I've found that have managed to miss that killer up-vote all us minnows like to feed off. Names have been hidden for privacy and basically to avoid embarrassment.
The Beggars
"Because you typed 3 of the letters in 'please'? No"
"LOL, nop"
The Impolite
"Because you don't write anything nice? And you're rude, and there are many nice people here, want me to continue?"
The Short n' Sweets
"Thanks"
"Thanks a lot, getting warmer..."
"Thanks! warmerrr..."
"Thank you! Sorry, it's just people are asking questions about my post and i'd rather just...."
The Traders
"Like the Genesis track?"
"So you liked my post? Yours is a bit crap though sorry."
Annnnd, the Creepy
"Not any more i don't, No!"
It's a tough world out there and you won't last long unless you buck your game up!
Of course, there's always an exception to put a spanner in the works...
I likeeee. Upvoteee me! Hahaha. Just kidding. I loved the examples of the vote begging and comments that you have quoted. I also loved your comments on each example - especially the comment "Because you typed 3 letters in please,..." As I have mentioned in my own blog about Personality traits of a Steemian, I really do not like the modern day text message abbreviations such as 'Gr8 for great'.
I am mostly into wildlife and travel photography blogs. I would be honored if you check my latest blogs when you have time. Your comments will be very valuable to enrich my experience. Thanks. (This is not a vote beg - LOL. Just in case you are getting ideas for your blog part 2!!)

Hey don't get me wrong here. The post is good and happy for you getting the votes. But still find it kinda strange that a post gets 42 votes, while only 12 people really opened it to find what more you've written.
