Kinda feels weird when people ask you to upvote and follow them but when you go to their page they are not even attempting to create content. My stuff isn't that great but at least I am taking this seriously.

NO.

You can't get my follow or an upvote even if you are following me if you don't have anything worth me upvoting or following.

All these people do is unfollow you anyway and hope you don't realize. It. I'm a little bit smarter than the average person... I rather not get your follow in the first place.
