Limiting rewards to some multiple of the median payout (Huey Long algorithm) will eliminate profiteering
No it won't. It will induce spamming and more low value posting in order to generate the maximum payout for purposes of milking on a larger number of content items.
I see no reason to expect more spam just because unlimited rewards aren't potential. It's remotely possible some folks would post more, lower value content. I don't care. That's an insignificant matter compared to rampant profiteering that has utterly broken curation, and is dropping Steem's market cap about 15 places per year. Leaving downvotes unchanged handles spam with facility now, and would continue to.
'Milking' posts is already done, and the additional work making more posts entails reveals good work ethic. These are trifles compared to the existential threat Steem is under presently, and that EIP would worsen.
I can see why you wouldn't want to continue the discussion in this vein. It's pretty obvious that EIP just hands more Steem rewards to profiteers when such trivial justifications for it and better alternatives are carefully considered.
You have an agile mind, and I'm confident that were you interested you could devise better means of encouraging rational investment that drove capital gains. I'm not going to speculate as to your motivations, but I can see that your stated reasons to support EIP also support profiteering. Whether you discuss these matters or not, they'll be discussed, and the consequences of EIP will happen and become unavoidably obvious should it be adopted.
I have seen several comments in this conversation already referring to folks powering down now. Accelerating rapine of rewards via EIP will spread that exodus exponentially, whether or not it's discussed. The recent inception of centralized censorship of Steem accounts will make that worse. I find the faint opposition to both of these degradations of Steem strong evidence that the end is in sight, and better capitalized men than I are implementing their exit strategies.
May you enjoy every success in your ventures. Sometimes getting what we always wanted reveals we should want better, and I look forward to seeing what comes next from folks that have learned from the Steem story.
