If they're campaigning, they need to be campaigning to peoples' WALLETS in the form of something better than 0.001 SBD, don't clutter someone's post with garbage.
If someone drops 1+ SBD/Steem for example into my wallet, I'll give their message a little thought, they have my attention. Otherwise it's simply spam and speaks for itself, drop 'er in the garbage pile and give it a flag.
I did get such spam into my wallet, went to the post where the witness was promoting himself and complained on the spamming. Based on the feedback I got, most people considered it legitimate and happy to get 0.001 into their wallets.
*“most people considered it legitimate and happy to get 0.001 into their wallets....???”
At least most of the people that read my comment and bothered replying to it. Here it is:

Rather interesting, how differently viewpoints can oppose each other, yet both actually have some sense/merit...
So if you get spammed 1000 times, you get either a collective 1 SBD or Steem!!! Fantastic deal!!!
