I've seen a change for the better in a few who could benefit from it. Haven't been watching as closely though as I once did on Steem. It would be fun to pour a whole bunch of money into this place, feeling confident.

I feel the same way. I do know some people who were talking about renting delegations to help fix matters. The rent could be paid for from a proposal if the idea to fix stuff is feasible and goes well. At 15% APR 1 million HP is 150,000 Hive a year or 411 Hive a day. They agree to cost in HBD up front to avoid price changes mid lease. That could even get freeze peach and hive watchers well funded and create a robust rental market.
So many options to bring new money in. Hopefully it doesn't turn into folks thinking their idea is best, forcing everyone to go one way. I'd much rather see options considered, planned so they don't negatively impact other options, then implemented into a system that can benefit the interested, but not cause chaos if it existed or was suddenly removed.
Delegations for instance. People take it for granted, then it's gone, and nobody prepared for that, so whatever needed it and whoever benefited died too.
New money, no handouts.
Well, my thing has always been to have a discussion. No one has really tried to have a proposal just to rent a delegation before.
Steemit used to give tons of people delegations, many to spectacular failure. However, some could be well used. You are right that proposals are not the easiest to maintain and can disappear at any time. Figuring out how to be sustainable is important, but I have always thought that proposals are best reserved for things that shouldn't be expected to earn revenue such as negative curation.
I agree with the responsible and beneficial use of proposals.
