My favorite idea out of this is #2, beneficiary rewards on our posts made on Steemit.

I see nothing wrong with this option, it would be best if they gave us a choice as to whether or not we wanted to do it on each post. They can automatically set it to give 1-3%, but allow those that wish not to to turn that feature off if they need to. Most people will leave it on by default I’m sure. Others may be happy that it is easy to now support Steemit with their own content instead of donating or delegating steem power.
There of course is a severe importance to make the announcement that this change is occurring. Perhaps a banner across the top of the homepage/news feed.
