I hear this refrain over and over again -- my posts aren't being shown to my fans! -- but it does not match up with my experience at all. My posts usually reach 35-45% of my fans. Organically, without any promotion. Granted I only have a total of ~2000 fans... perhaps this effect everyone is talking about only kicks in e.g. above 10k fans? To be honest, I think everyone is just crying that "Facebook isn't showing my fans the stupid and unengaging crap that I post". How about trying some actual content that your fans might actually want to see? The one thing FB has become very adept at is filtering out crap.

I'm a part of a hobbyist organization that has over 40k likes on Facebook - we pretty much only post relevant content to our fans, and for the most part it is organic (and still growing). We've been pretty happy with how well the outreach has been & our user engagement, and that's without being aggressive. If you post crap, users won't want to see your crap - would you want to see crap? I agree with your post wholeheartedly.

This has been my experience too. I stick to my personal profile though. People who endure liberal propaganda, bad jokes, and half-developed ideas are a very small and focused niche.
