Yes, self-voting and buying votes from an outsiders view is unethical - there's a whole ongoing discussion about it here on Steemit. But, think within the platform, how you would succeed. Can you compete with a 300 SBD vote on subpar content that's guaranteed to hit the trending page with your 0.1 SBD vote and great content?
