Follow Begging Will DESTROY You: DO - NOT - DO - IT!
.............................................................................................................................................................................
Begging for followers is a fatal flaw
If you're doing it, stop doing it right now.
Well put.. people will soon realize that even if they do get some response in the beginning - they will never be able to sustain it. Rewards shouldn't be "expected"- especially if you havent built a following. It takes a lot of posts, a few good relationships, and interesting content to build your base. I say participate in other peoples content - and maybe they'll take an interest in yours. It has to be an organic process - it can't be forced!
I had a dream that every steemian will get followers thanks to valuable content :)
An MLKesque comment, I like it :)
I'm only new to Steemit but it's easy to see that follow begging or even asking for upvote for upvote, follow for follow will never work.
The whole system is based on how much merit you bring to the platform through quality content, not any amount of begging.
Please follow me for posting such a good commentHave a nice day!
Well said
A lot of the ones like this are Pixie comments.

It had to be said.
I am 100% with you !! Suicide is not a remedy.
Exactly. This is what I love about Steem as compared to other social sites.
Here we value......value.
Bring value to the table and followers will look for your posts.
Preach, church, tabernacle!
FATAL FLAW INDEED!! RESTEEMED!! :D
Thanks for a reiteration of my feelings about SteemIt (from a newbie). Quality content is whyat it's all about!
See I did a post for charity earlier. (Won't bother linking) but at the very end i specifically asked that people not follow me. Why? Because that post is not typical of my content, just something spontaneous and doesnt represent me. I'm resteeming this cause it needs more eyes. Have a great day.
I don't like it when I am asked or been told I have followed you can you follow me, my thoughts I will read a couple of your posts first if I like what I read then maybe, please don't beg it isn't nice and it isn't going to work
Well, I guess if that visual explanation does not do the job, nothing will @everittdmickey. Problem is that newbies won't have your message as a first read when they sign up
When there's money to be made people will try anything. For some of them even a few dollars makes a difference. They will have to learn that Steemit has sort of rules. We can educate them
@everittdmickey, I couldn't help but laugh loudly when I saw the images. How rightly depicted. Hope it makes the "Follow me" tribe understand the harakiri they are committing. 😊
Lol yes asking to be followed shows that you don't really care about content creation or sharing anything interesting but more interested in popularity as is, which in itself is not a healthy starting point to participate in a community.
