That is called capital gains, and it is the essential mechanism that has been relied on by investors since prehistory. Steem has tried to improve on that, along with other improvements, such as rewarding creators for the content by allowing other users to allocate rewards to them for that content. I think rewarding creators has been negatively impacted by the attempted novel mechanism to reward investors, and this can be fixed by eliminating unrestricted payouts that allow profiteers to pervert curation for financial gain. Actual curation has nothing to do with financial manipulation, but is allocating rewards to creators for content quality. The financial manipulation has proven to all but eliminate curation, and substituted profiteering.
Capital gains is THE proven mechanism to drive investment in adding value to the investment vehicle, and this increasing it's price. Rewards pool rape is the opposite of that. Tweaking the rate at which profits are extracted won't fix the problem. It can only tweak how they are extractable. Any extraction of those rewards for profiteering purposes is exactly contrary to imbuing Steem with value and creating capital gains.
