Well these are atm just some thoughts... If I understand it is not yet sure how the weight would be diminished. The Hardfork has not been done yet.
You could still invest some more in SP and vote with 5% Power. Not sure how much money has to be invested for this. Even then the invested money is not "gone" and has a chance of developping (price AND interest).

The side effect still would be that products are placed in such good google positions that any investment would be worth it. If I imagine how much money is invested in google ranking SEO ... 0.01% of this budget would make Steemit self-sustainable
