Yes, 100%
New users buying STEEM is the only way the platform grows, so I'm not against that. Indeed, I'm about to buy STEEM myself - and will continue to do so - because I believe in the platform so much (long term too).
What I mean is, SP could be split, or weighted in favour of those who've been on the platform longest, and have contributed more to the community - maybe in combination with your Reputation score.
I just don't think you should be able to buy attention so easily, or the platform is liable to attract spammers and "get rich quick", snakeoil salesmen. Because it's not just about more users, more content, more profits...there has to be a way for the cream to rise to the top, rather than "bad actors" buying their way in.
