Yes, I do leave a message for people to upvote me and that was after they must had read the 'quality' content I provided.
Definitely good content provider should encourage but asking someone to upvote a post I have not read or does not interest me is the issue here.
Thank you for your contribution @asolopreneur
Asking votes for low (zero) quality with earning intention is begging. Asking votes for high quality posts with networking purpose is part of appreciation.
