I hear you, bro.

I am not on facebook because I have no desire to share my privacy or my intellectual property for free. Plus I have better things to do with my time.

The whole whale thing was my first concern and it is still my concern. If these whales are whales because they have grown organically through publishing their intellectual property than kudos but if they bought their position and power then I will go find something else to do.

I've published beautiful photographs that no one ever sees (0-views) because they are only visible in the new category for literally seconds before they fall off into oblivion. So I do not intend on publishing anything of real substance unless I can be rewarded in someway for my time.
