Ridiculous!
Begging for cash, follow or upvote on shit stuff is a common thing now a days. I don't know why people always try to find shortcuts for permanent success. I have received a lot messages asking upvote for upvote or follow for follow. I always try to guide people that success never come from begging or walking the easy path. If you want success hard work is the only key.
Steemit community is so generous and pure and spammers, scammers or beggars does not deserve to be here.
They don't care, they are not very clever. I'd they were they would realise there are better ways to do things but they are just in it for the easy ride
