I am thinking that buying votes will become less popular over time.
I also think that it will become a LOT less profitable.
When people stop paying for votes the whales selling them will want to do something with that Steem so they will ether start cashing out or curating content

Most of them are already not profitable-- the typical net yield is currently about -10-15% relative to what people are paying for the votes. Of course, there are still hopefully-greedy people who keep paying for them.
Seems to me those megawhales with all the SP would do better to delegate (lease) their SP to active manual curators who use that SP to upvote high quality content.
