I read your comment, and I also joined the chat, and posted my link posts in the PROMOTION channel. The moment I do that, people start asking vote for vote. I never asked anyone to upvote me. if they like then they will automatically upvote. Same goes with me, if I like I would upvote from my bottom of heart.
But the trend is not like that. Now I see that people initially asking others upvote to get upto a some level. Probably then only they make it to the pool of people who are being watched.
why bother with people like that, I've started flagging those nagging comments and the spammy images, that's the best we can do. Collude with good people like @surpassinggoogle for instance, the promotion chat is a swamp I rarely post nowadays but the last few times I normally have to tell 5 people to stop spamming their posts.
There are many reasons for this "mental" attitude. People are crazy and they want money and attention spans tend to be on the lower end.
It's a shitty trend I agree the best thing that could be done is to help those that can be helped and flag all the rest of them until they get some manners or a better reason to be here than steal rewards, or scratch their ego's
