RE: What Can We Do About the Steemian Newbies That Ask or Beg for Our Support?
I think you have a nice balanced approach to all of this. I bet there are many accounts made by people who know that this type of behavior is frowned upon here, but they are using their bots to control hundreds of accounts and posting tons of begging comments fishing for the occasional upvote. But there are also many people who are excited about the opportunity and try desperately to get some attention the wrong way.
Responding with a message that explains to them what is wrong with that approach seems like a really good and kind way to deal with it. And while some will not take the free advice, I'm sure some will and some will even become successful on the platform because they were told the right thing at the right time before being labeled a spammer and leaving the platform in frustration.
Thanks for that thoughtful comment @naydenova. There are indeed lots of spamming bots. We don't have to give any of them our upvotes or our attention, which will make them eventually go away because they aren't getting what they want. Those people don't actually ever answer or come back asking how they can improve.
When someone does ask, it really makes me feel grateful I have taken the time to help them. It can be a very frustrating beginning, depending especially on their intentions of getting on Steemit in the first place. It's really rewarding to feel when I have made a difference. We all know it can potentially be a bit hard at the beginning.
Great to have you here. I appreciate your sharing on my blog.
It's a real pleasure, so I'm happy and grateful to be here! :)
Yes Bless!!
