Unfortunately, there are no only few people with SP wealth who really care about good content. Most of whales of them are interested only into money and hardly anything else.
I like your heart approach to this 'problem'. You offered some solutions and that can be productive to some point, but eventually change of perspective from self obsessed to heart perspective is what can truly change situation, like we concluded million time. HF's is just trying on force to change situation, but if greed stay big SP holders will always find way to make money for themselves, not caring about content.
Yes, as always it all comes down to enlightenment. How much is a website worth that always attracts the most powerful ideas and thinkers to express themselves? Quite a lot! That site has to demonstrate the same kind of greatness in order to attract more of the same... So in a sense, this is all a great big calling for increased self awareness and expanded perception/creativity. :)
