Sounds quite similar to begging, according to your other comment.

"Asking and begging is quite similar. If they like you they will upvote you."

Something totally acceptable on steemit is hypocrisy. Whenever you see whales fighting they cry about someone "abusing" steemit and in their comments is full of upvote bots. How about just let people do what they want, if they're bad they will lose their reputation and won't make money and will go away.
