I have been on Steemit for 3 months now and recently purchased some steem that I powered up with. My number of followers is in the 200's and I'm not sure how many are active. Most of my posts accumulate less than 10 cents, with my better posts getting 20-30 cents. As many of you know, it can be hard to get your posts seen when you are a minnow and therefore you feel unsuccessful when nobody upvotes your material. I have been upvoting a lot of my post to help myself grow and I don't feel too bad about it because my vote is only worth about 3 cents.
I was wondering how acceptable this is in the community and if it is acceptable, where is the cutoff line where someone is being too greedy? I want to keep my integrity, but I also want to grow and that 3 cents that I have adds up if I keep using it.
If you read this entire post and leave a thought out comment and I'll share my 3 cents with you.
