To me, whaleshares was just a community of people who either just didn't like Steem, or weren't successful on Steem. Its a shame really. If everyone would've just stuck it out they could've created a community on top of Steem like pal. I was never a fan of them splitting off and creating thier own chain. I tried it, but like you said i felt wrong just double posting content. I hope those folks find thier way back to steem eventually....
