It may not be greed. As a newbie, there are many types of advice. So far I have learnt;
Vote for yourself
Do not vote for yourself
As a minnow do 100% powerup.
For the community do not do 100% power up
Add many people to broaden the community.
Do not add alot otherwise the feed is a nightmare.
Hunt for whales.
Do not expect whales to care.
Follow trends.
Do not follow trends if there are already many votes....
Alot of (mis)information.
For me now, I trial different methods to see what feels right for me. Right now;
- Powerup 100% of my posts...but will change this to 50/50 from today.
- Follow the feed as much as humanly possible.
- View new content to find new people that add a new positive perspective to my life.
- Try to find a blog style that I am happy with.
- Not to upvote my own posts. Sometimes I do by accident
- Learn more about the Steemit platform.
- Introduce friends to the community.
So, for a new world such as this, I am forgiving.
I am less tolerant of people who try to find profiting loopholes, such as bot voting, spamming etc.
