I actually didn’t know that about the Steemit logo and thought the new one was free to use just like the old one. Very helpful.

I couldn’t agree more about your comments regarding spamming and begging for upvotes. Surely it must also be quite humiliating for the person doing the begging.

It kind of reminds me of some advice I received years ago. Walk into the room as if you already belong there. That way people will treat you with respect immediately. The same goes for Steemit. Treat Steemit like you know you belong and as if everyone here is your family.

You wouldn’t beg your family to follow you would you? You’d just expect that they will in their own good time.

And you’ll only gain followers if your content is good. Produce shit content and no one will show any interest.
