I'm inclined to think that the value would rise with more adoption in the next two years to offset this enough. I have no expertise to feel confident in that though.

However, I do sense and see that there's a decent portion of users who act heavily in their own personal interests alone, as interpreted by their outpouring of filler posts for votes to satisfy auto/voting trail rewards, met with offensively low amount of commenter engagement and upvoting. I think that this one way street mentality will fuel the issue you're raising because it's a selfish mindset of expecting, versus giving. Eventually one pool will drain out the other.
