Something interesting meetup does is the ability for a dormant group to be taken over or acquired, usually after nonactivity and lack of general updates. This approach favors the group as a whole. 

I imagine SN having some sort of plan for abandoned subs. Most Bitcoiners take on more than they can handle.

A system similar to meetup could potentially keep these subs alive.

Building base for SN user generated sub update

I'll be watching this thread, thanks!

Details of user generated subs are very fluid right now so this is helpful. I've only considered very high-level stuff like:

- how trust works in a sub
- how many sats does it cost to start and maintain a sub
- variations on how the sub creator earns sats from it
