Oh, yes, trolling is an understood annoyance that I can completely vote "no" to! It is very difficult to evaluate someone's content as you normally would once they have posted "follow me" or "check out this link that has nothing to do with your post that I didn't even read."

I agree with you that there should be some understanding when people are trying to earn on their posts, which is the biggest thing that sets Steemit apart from all other social networks!

And yes, absolutely don't beg. Put yourself into your content and allow the people that appreciate that to come to you.

Haha, of course don't make eye contact with a guy in a public restroom! Isn't there another unspoken rule that men don't look at other men while they are crying?
