Delegations break the accountability and stake principle and, over time, skew the distribution even further. Some have put them to good use, but overall, the effects have been terrible.
I don't think anything in the EIP will help those who are just plodding along trying to make money with content; the accounts that are used to making money with money will simply adjust their algorithms and continue as before without even considering curating more or better. Outside of Steem(it), nobody has a clue what we're on about, so no effect there.
Having said that: there are only opinions on all this, no facts or useful theories that predict well, so let's just try and see what happens.
