I agree that "something must be done to improve organic 'eyes on posts'". My proposal is that posts should be of higher quality. More "Medium" or "Quora" quality, less Facebook or Instagram quality.
As "quality" is relative, the typical way to address this is to foster the creation of communities which agree, each one for itself, what "quality" means for that community.
Fundamentally, you cannot repair broken economics by using solely the economic lever, you need an external reference. Think of a helicopter: it cannot function with one rotor only, it needs a second, stabilizing rotor at the back
