Hi @done, of lately I can feel the growing numbers of beggars on Steemit hence these discussions. Coincidently I wrote on the same topic as @xpilar around the same time. It's worrying seeing the rise of spammers everywhere here and mostly are newbies. Although being flagged continuosly by the policing bots and some whales, these spammers just couldn't stop begging. Like they couldn't care less. I even think maybe they have multiple accounts that are causing them to behave this ignorant way. Nevertheless you are right, in comparison to other blogging sites, Steemit environment has a system that assist to maintain a cleaner place here with their bots and flagging system. And of course most importantly a free-ads environment that is one of its best trait that I respect a lot.
