I imagine this comprehensive of a post is going to get cumbersome at some point (for the reader at least, if not the author).
What are you thinking of doing to still keep all this information accessible as the territory continues to grow?
I know I have three more book recommendation posts already planned, that I just need to carve out some time for, and it looks like I'm far from the only one who's enjoying doing these little write ups.
It seems like eventually this will be a great use case for subterritories. You can have all the recommendations/reviews in one place and the original content in another.
I basically agree with everything you said. Specifically regarding book reviews, which I personally consider some of the best content here, I am planning to create a separate book review index post. Then I will include a link in each newsletter, and also pin the index. Unfortunately, SN still doesn't have a perpetual edit feature, so I may need to put out a revised edition quarterly.

This territory is highlighting a few valuable features for SN to add. In addition to subterritories and perpetual editing, posts like book reviews would really benefit from putting more emphasis on evergreenness.
I floated the idea past k00b to make "late zapping" heavily rewarded in a similar way to how "early zapping" is rewarded. I'm not sure that's quite right, but we want people to have an incentive to continue zapping these posts as they age.
reply
Yes. I thought of late zapping too. Maybe once a post is over a month old?
reply
I imagine they have plenty of data to know when zaps essentially drop to zero. It might even be as little as a week, but the reward could gradually grow overtime.

Having perpetual edits on admin-pinned posts in territories seems like a great idea (though no idea how hard it is to implement). I do hope to add more reviews to that index myself.
