Upvote Begging Contest: The most creative and entertaining act of begging will be rewarded with a 100% upvote.
In early 2018, there was a surge of clueless newbies. As a result, spam comments begging for upvotes among other things became commonplace. I remember getting those comments myself in the comment section of nearly every post I made. If there is one good thing about the price of STEEM having crashed, it has got to be the huge drop in the number of spam comments one type of which is begging for upvotes.
Begging for upvotes can be a nuisance and will often attract flags. Not even getting flagged to oblivion will deter the most pig-headed practitioners. It appears beggars for upvotes will always be among us and rather than trying to stem the flow, the smartest thing to do might be to make the best of it. The prettiest of roses can grow out of a pile of dung. Without further ado, I declare the contest open!
The rules:
- The time to submit your entry will end on July 31 at 23.59 EET (= GMT+3).
- Be original.
- Be entertaining.
- Use text only. Gif animations in the comments have a special place in hell.
UPDATE:
If you make an entry, could you please clearly mark it as an entry? I'd hate to have to guess whether your comment is an entry into this contest or the genuine article! :D Also, clearly marking your comment as an entry or a part of your comment as your entry, might make it psychologically easier to beg creatively as you would not being doing it as yourself.
Give me some fake digital money. I am in need of my heroin dosage and my crackwhore friends won't let me put my ass on the streets, as I have a sever case of syphilis.
Plus, my PIMP told me that I if don't enter this competition, he will beat me to death. Yes, I am a man.
Resteemed and ready with the 🍿
LOL i’m Ready! Let the comments begin!
I know the above is not an entry. But would you mind checking out rule number 4 ...
Seeing a gif as the second comment made me roar ....

Dear Sir or Madam, I am a wildlife documentary film maker, the plight of deep sea fauna is not well represented in the Natural History film-making industry as they prefer fluffy cute things that make the audience go: Awww!
To rectify this horrendous lack of representation I need to mount an expedition to the sea-floor, and it needs to get done quickly before David Attenborough gets too ancient to do the voice-over.
The first bit of essential kit we need is a submarine, we can get a cheap ex-military one for around $7 Billion, but we are a fair amount short of that total; Not to mention we will need to keep Sir David A on tea and biscuits for the duration of the voyage.
Your upvote can make all the difference, please do this for the little ugly critters at the bottom of the sea, that no-one loves, except me.
Entry ends. Seriously not looking to win anything, just entering for a bit if a laugh :)
