Fair enough, no upvote and no resteemed . I certainty dont want a upvote, I get plenty from myself.

But seriously the behaviours you mention above are human nature and an intrinsic part of the steemit journey. People come on after reading about whales and learning of this new crypto "thing". Only to realise they are competing with pro-level bloggers, whales and actual celebrity. Like me they quickly discover this sh1t aint easy. So they learn, research, evolve and adapt. Asking for upvotes is part of that process they move through. From you perspective yes its frustrating but just to put folks down and threaten a good flagging is not exactly productive either.
