Thanks for detailing the current situation on ~Music and I agree the value for territories reside in the comments, not really in the value you get back as sats.
It was mentioned before by another user but territory owners might benefit from being able to post/comment in their territory for free, but I think that idea got shot down when it was raised.
Can you remember where it was discussed? I think the idea to comment back for a fee (higher than 1 sat) could be a great feature, and a way to keep conversations cleaner helping stackers think twice before hitting reply.
What I can notice in most territories is also a really low value on amount of comments per post. I assume it's really hard to create spaces for conversation, but maybe is just my impression.
I think it may have been siggy? Who posted about "thoughts on territories" I thought I saw it on similar when I hit reply, but as a mobile user, finding anything is impossible 🤣. Might have been this one #389003
I'm having the opposite issue in music than lack of comments, I'm getting 20ish a day and great engagement, but no zaps on the post at all. Where I see some stackers find their way to 1000s of sats a day, without even making a post... The reward leaderboard really spelled it out for me.
I had 30posts, stacked about the same as I spent, but was sat in the same bracket as users with 1 or even zero posts. Hell I've made more sats in the main saloon dropping salute emojis on posts I want to show respect to. Users zapping a salute emoji gives me better return than actually posting anything. That either tells me that no one cares about my content (possible) or people aren't zapping value they're just blanket zapping lots of stuff to try to game the rewards. There's for sure some... Teething issues ... with the V4V model.

That's frustrating to hear; I zap the daily posts in music (and in stackersports) because they're part of what gives the territory its personality. Same with the weekly wrap-ups in other territories I follow (like booksandarticles).
Rewarding zapping is obviously a good thing, but I do think the model would benefit from folks not being as able to game it.

Yep. But I appreciate you showing up everyday and giving me something to listen to 👊
