Glad it is not me only - i wrote about this over a week ago, the typical spam influx when people hop on a new platform where rewards / money is mentioned to them. I personally also sometimes ask them similar to you - if they reply and you see thy got the message and improve behaviour all fine but most won't - I never used the down vote button yet - i certainly will soon if it goes worse. The other option - MUTE these guys but in the sense of ur community it is better to down vote them after an educational try.

Yeah, there's really not a perfect fix, besides trying to educate people. I don't like to downvote, because Steemit is being looked at as if it's just a social media and in that regard, I can understand people expected upvotes for sharing a simple cat picture or a video. They might just not know better.
Muting is an option, but that doesn't help the community as a whole. Commenting on every post like that would be a day job though, so let's just hope these articles we write sometimes will help a bit.
Yeah exactly my words - some are just so ridiculous copy and paste a comment under 100s of posts
