This seems related to the sentiment @siggy47 has expressed about operating these territories as a sort of bitcoin activism. It may not be directly (or even individually) profitable to operate these territories, but the mutual benefit to the whole bitcoin community of having these spaces may be socially profitable.
I think the joint ownership idea that @jeff has put forward helps with this. It's worth something to me to have access to the territories I frequent, but it might not be worth 100k per month. However, there may be a small group for whom it is worth that much.
@jeff makes valid points. My so far feeble attempts to make a go at a dog and cat territory is completely directed at trying to foster adoption. I wouldn't totally discount these territories making financial sense some day, though, even if the SN income split doesn't change . If an owner times it right and buys a territory outright during a big price crash they might look like a genius five years from now.

That is my ownership plan, unless some kind of partial ownership is implemented.

That's once @ekzyis makes it possible to switch payment options for already existing territories. HINT!!!!
