Rewards from @Steemit posts are divided beween 
Rewards are paid exclusively in STEEM / Steem Power. As you can see in the picture down below that I took from my steemit wallet. I got 0.020 SP 0.019 STEEM without SBD.
There's no link between SBD being at $1 and "Steemit management stopping to pay in SBD". It's the blockchain who pay not steemit.
Some guess its because steemit right now has many competitors, which will effects.
Here is another picture show my wallet claim rewards history I got paid with SP & steem but I didn't got SBD.
