I really believe you think what your telling me makes sense. If you look in the bottom corner you see a few social media icons. These icons are part of the sites design. The creators of steemit added these icons which allow users to share their content to either facebook, twitter or linked in. You were not a loyal part of the group that is true. You did not get any value because of this. Those that are engaged in the group and upvote and resteem like the group is meant for do get value out of it as others that appreciate the engagement returns the favor. I am sorry it didnt workout for you.

The group didn't have value for me because I left the group shortly after joining. Yes steem has these other social media outlets available much like how YouTube has the same, but just because an option is there doesn't mean it's a good idea to use it. The fact still remains that thousands of votes from users of low steem (minnows) can never compare to the value of 1 vote from somebody with crazy high steem (whale). It will do you almost no good to attract the low end with this empty promise. The real growth happens when a whale clicks your upvote button and your rep goes up 5 points and your wallet is padded with hundreds of dollars. It's quality not quantity, low quality content will get you ignored possible flagged by these whales. If you don't want to listen to it that's fine.
In the world I live in, I like to call it the real world. We dont sit around and wait for the right person to give us success. We go out and create it for our selfs. Sharing our content with our facebook group does not affect the quality of the content. The quality of the content has nothing to do with it being shared on facebook or any of the social media given to us by the developers of steemit. The users ability to create solid content is not hindered by sharing. I'm not sure how else to say it. The fact that content is being shared to facebook does not take away the possibility that a "whale" as you put it, which I find offensive to trivialize users, anyway sharing does not stop users with high reputation from finding or upvoting said content.
Unfortunately we are not in the real world we are in the internet world. A world where millions are out there begging for attention. I'm not saying you should "sit around", I'm suggesting you reevaluate the way your going about it. Also I'm not saying other outlets are not valuable, I'm saying the intention of an action is typically irrelevant to the way it's viewed by those who are using steem because they don't want to use facebook. It was not me that created the term whale, it's of the communities creation. You can't honestly expect me to believe you think my use of "whale" is some how derogatory.
