Who'd stop them from spamming new posts and raping it that way, and what would that do with commenting being raped exclusively of posts, as it proposes.

I didn't say it would stop that. It would limit it though so it couldn't spill over to stealing and draining the rest of the pool for posts.
Spam posts we already have mechanisms in place to fight. That hasn't been an issue for a long time. Right now we have comment pool draining everything. I view it as a firewall or a stop gap. Everything you are talking about exists now. I don't see it hurting anything but it can limit the bleeding.
Short of that the community needs to withdraw all support, followers, votes, etc from the people that do it. Let them stand alone. If that doesn't work then we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
I believe tying into the steamdb.com database a report to determine those amounts could be found as you are correct I have no idea where that split should actually be. I provided the 20% / 80% only as a hypothetical example.
Yeah I am hoping engagement shifts... So based upon today's models that could work. We could also go closer to my 20% / 80% that I made up out of the air and effectively be doubling the ceiling for comment engagement.
Note I really don't want a ceiling. I do think having a firewall to protect different types of activities from each other might be worth doing though.
I personally believe curating pays too much. Yet it is that payout that continues to inspire the truly powerful to keep spreading the wealth. Hopefully not just to themselves.
