I really hate spam and begging. When I vote I want to help the blogger, reward them for their work or promote their post because it talks about something I'm interested in. Too many posts are just lazy bloat, no quality imput from the poster. It really offends me when they ask for votes in exchange for their vote. I hope the whales and the folks in charge do something about begging and spam. Otherwise, the good bloggers will go back to FaceBook and Reddit.
