Ever since someone figured out how to get something for nothing, someone has been begging ...

And for as long as people have been begging, people have been giving beggars money ...

But regardless of how common it is, it's just bad form! Whether it's asking for cash, upvotes, reputation, resteems ... begging is just not classy.

Steemit is a curated community. As a community, we have the opportunity to make a little cash from our efforts. Much more importantly than cash, however, is that we have an INCREDIBLE opportunity to create and share amazing content with each other!

Am I saying you shouldn't ask for the upvote or resteem? NO! You absolutely should have a "Call to action" and ask. What I'm saying is don't JUST ask for upvotes, or post content that doesn't contribute to the community.

This is by no means the say a ll end all of it ... What do fellow Steemers think?
