@jk6276 thank you for this post. I was waiting for something like this, I even started to write down some of my thoughts.
Nevertheless, here's my opinion.

I would like LBI to drop Leo focus. Degrade it and move towards the things that brought us the most value - which I find Hive.
Leo has been nothing but a disappointment so far and can't really see why should we trust it at all. It's too centralised, I have some personal negative experience and I guess LBI is heavily affected by bHBD stunt as well.
I know LBI price is noted in Leo, the whole project is denominated in Leo, but let's not put too much hope in it. Let's use it when it's reasonable (like @leo.voter delegation). But I vote to stay as far away from Leofinance as possible. The same goes with LBI-Leo pool. Let's focus on swap.hive instead.

There haven't been a report posted in a while and before making decisions we need to know where do we stand with CUB, bHBH and bHive. (@silverstackeruk).

We need to find authors to create more content. It's the foundation of our growth.

Let's negotiate your terms.
What if LBI would pay you 2.5% in Leo( or Hive if we switch) and 2.5% in LBI (meaning we would buy LBI for 5% in total).
This would create a bet - the better results the greater your profit would be.
