Vote selling can be abused for sure. But it won't if you develop good role models of many selfless people. Advertising is not going away. Since there are many that wants to get in front of peoples eyes so they will find a way to do it. It's great that people take action when something seem unfair. We will be seeing a lot of that in the future since everything is now more transparent and we can see what is going on.

If vote selling were simply advertising, I would have no problem with it but it's a bit more nuanced than that.
I like @freebornangel's idea for people declining rewards if it is just promotion or advertising (it was on Discord). He also mentioned a burn bot which I think would be an interesting idea.
We know it won't happen though. People aren't merely interested in advertising but also maximizing SP accumulation as stated in the OP.

Never understood the point with decline rewards. An ecosystem need people both being able to give and receive. Vote selling is clearly advertising. What else would it be? I like to hear nuanced ideas more in depth.

Reward pool rape.
The reward pool was created to reward content creation, any rewards taken from it in any way except getting voted to you for content you created is abuse, imo.

Yep, but is it content determined to be 'good' by the community, or the vote buyer?
And the bot is taking the place of whale curation, they are dodging their responsibility in favor of easy money.
Crap posts and spam are not going to build value in the platform like properly curated content would.

Yes you are right. But the profits will go down... And then they will move to another place. The short term thinkers that will say.

Ok, good riddance, steem isnt a participation ribbon.
If the hardfork that allowed this bs was reversed, and muzzles put on the greedy whales, we could have a platform that rewards 'good' content instead of this crap that gets rewarded now.
Minnows would matter in the math, disribution would be wider, and we would be over run with real people instead of scammer bots.

If I take a look at the trending page right now I don't really see that much crazy stuff. I see quality interesting provoking content. I would say most is quality. I think it's interesting with variation I come to Steemit to be entertained and laugh a bit. For me it's fun! I mean I already start to see many whales get nervous because the profits go down. For me that's very entertaining stuff. Since I'm in it for the long term.
If the Minnows want more power they have to buy in. It's that simple. Buy in and work hard and smart. Be very active that will say! Write 100 quality comments per day. The ones who do will find awesome success here.
