The answer is upgrading the staking algorithm so while being representative of stake, it's also more representative of the community voice.
By all means, pursue these Layer 1 improvements you seek. Personally, I think you will be more successful implementing your upgrades to 'the staking algorithm' on Layer 2 (because you don't have to ask permission to do that), then use the evidence gained from your Layer 2 experiment to convince the witnesses to implement those changes on Layer 1.
Layer 1 changes are hard to make (as they should be). Layer 2 experiments are relatively easy -- just takes some time and treasure, and a good team.
Except that's not quite what you are doing. You are disabling features that others have already done.
Also, circle jerking? You really think that's a problem? How you gonna stop that? It's human nature to support who they align with and there's nothing wrong with that. Now, get rid of stake in the votes and have it only affect the value of the post through the author's stake, then maybe it could be more fair.
Maybe not though, cuz popularity simply brings more votes consistently and can't be stopped. Hive has managed to suppress the noticeable greed shown openly, but that greed isn't going anywhere.
But again, you haven't offered here any actual necessary fixes on the second layer. Good luck though.
Best part is layer 2 allows experimentation. There's no need to embrace 1 size fits all madness for something as subjective as rewards.
