@themarkymark - As Steem and Steemit continue to grow, will such issues still persist in your view? Won't other users take away enough rewards from the pool for people like @haejin to get a smaller share, even though the SP of his upvoters increases? (This would probably assume Steem grows faster than this SP)
The issues will just get worse until Communities and a few other changes get released. The community doesn't want to act out of fear of being attacked, and there is no central authority to go to. The current spam/abuse groups are too small to deal with it.
