Why not reserve funds for delegating to deplatformed authors who come to Hive and Leo?
I think what might be a better variation of the same basic idea is to only approach those influencers who have been booted out by YouTube, Twitter or any other Web 2.0 platform. Those people are not comfortable. They're pissed off and thus ready for change. Offering a HP or LP delegation to help them get started would be a good idea, in my opinion.

This is a great idea! We have a way better chance of keeping the deplatformed than the "influencers", that's for sure.
