Inciteful and more importantly ACCURATE!
The most relevant point you made in my opinion is the one about people just hanging constantly around the whales, thinking they are gonna get noticed among the thousands...Uhm, not a chance.
And also your point about content quality, perhaps being amazing, but nobody seeing it as you do not have the followers. I have just spent a few hours editing a post that almost no-one will see, I do it as a labour of love. I hone my writing skills, this will eventually reward me, but I don't expect a cent from it at the moment.
Engagement=Rewards...Eventually, thanks for the info breakdown, interesting to hear the perspective of someone else :)
Take great care and have an amazing day and an even better journey ahead.

Its kind of amazing that we put so much effort into writing an article that we know is gonna get ignored by majority due to us being minnows.. lets take this very post for an example. If a whale had written it, you would probably see it in trending page, but here it is.. thats the reality. Yet somehow we strive our best to deliver the best of content everytime..
