What will happen to my proposal, when a client interacts (e.g., it is viewed when it is in the 1st position), and is then outbid by someone who bids with higher connects?

Let me summarize based on your specific question.
If you're removed from the top 4 positions, your proposal will go to the "usual place" (the exact words the mods used), which is a position determined by a secretive algo that could also place your proposal directly into the "other proposals" (trash) folder.
If you're removed after a client has already interacted with your proposal, they have noticed your proposal, which means boosting mission accomplished, your connects are not returned.
To be honest, I think this is pretty fair, don't you? But still, I'm not interested in joining the game. 🤑
