Removing the l1 rewards gets talked about often, I have mixed feelings about it. While I can understand the idea, I personally think it would be devastating to the hive price at this point

However, one way to ensure your own content is valuable despite Hive rewards is to join a community and worry less about Hive rewards and more about the community rewards.

If all of you involved in the battle just continued to post and bought into your own autonomous community rewards, it would just become a non issue. If the community was growing eventually the rewards police can't keep up downvotes and the downvotes would matter less as the community token would become more important anyway.

The hyperbolic battle, name calling and having the same exact conversation for 5.5 years is tedious. Make your own community and invest in it. Don't worry about the Hive rewards and the problem solves it's self.
