Interesting thinking, and i am sure it is happening, not the companies buying Sp but whales and earning from a reward pool whereas quality content creators are being pushed out. Of course it is not the first time when ideas pivot from their initial intentions :) You described model would work to some extent, increasing demand would drive the price upwards, hence benefiting early investors, and ROI remaining just about the same in proportion with an increased SP price. Until at some point some of those early companies would decide to sell and take the profits and may start a chain reaction where later entrants would dump their SP seeing that ROI just became 10 years then 15 years etc and the market should eventually crash. That would be a classic pyramid structure where early entrants earn and late entrants pay for it :) Speculation is always a viable option early in the game but without the intrinsic value, all such schemes always end one and only one way. Crash :) At some point it may start all over again, and follow the same life cycle of course, but that does not change the theory or the inevitable outcome.

Yes, this just speeds the process. The only way it really can work is if there is actual creation of value somewhere along the line that feeds back into the system.
We are currently working on such a solution. We will see if we can improve on current model or not. I have listed all proposals and changes that will be implemented in this article if interested. https://steemit.com/photography/@bescouted.com/importance-of-token-economics-and-capturing-value-in-utility-tokens
