It could also be a separate dapp for crowdfunding.
I thought about that too. A separate interface like Travelfeed. With a "become my patron" option. So that with one click (+ Keychain authorisation) you could set up an autovote.
There should also be some more organised support for those authors who write about Hive in other social media.
The most important thing is (and I've been saying this for almost six years) to attract content creators. Those who are already doing it.
