~Econ only costs 100 sats for a post, but it's also the one territory I know of that crowdfunds.
That’s right. There are a handful of us paying the the shortfall every month.

it is a great initiative and look's like is the only territory doing so. @Jeff strategized a lot to make it happen, and I think it would be useful for other territory owners to try the same approach.
Atm it's possible to support only the reward pool, it wouldn't be nice to have a way to directly support territories too?
@Public_N_M_E would you consider testing the same approach?
reply
It's certainly something I'm considering, the difficulty is finding time to ensure I'm available to interact with a crowdfund.
Effectively every single one of my daily posts and my various weeklies should act as a crowdfund if they were to be zapped proportionate to comments and engagement 😉

It's suggestive of what will be possible over time. Those guys are innovators, but as SN grows, and there's non-trivial money / influence to be had by effective territory management, I think you'll see more "overlays" of this kind, groups of people specializing in different aspects of territory mgmt. @siggy47 is another example of innovation in territory-running.
Things that don't seem viable now will likely be later.

That's true, but doing so you'll never know if the funds will be re-invested in the territory or not.
I also notice that most territory owners are just sitting back, maybe watching, maybe just forgot about SN. Anyway, just thinking that potentially, territories should have a dedicated wallet that the owner (and other contributors could) have access to.
reply
Sitting back, nah you gotta invest your time if you want to succeed, spend some time in ~Music and ~Stacker_Sports ~Agora is another. Very very active owners.
reply
I love this idea. At the end of the month, if folks have contributed, say, 10K sats to the wallet, the owner gets billed 90K.
Unless they're yearlong or lifetime territories, I can't imagine many active territories have owners that have really abandoned them, since that monthly bill would keep coming up.

My mistake, apologies, there was a territory that made it to profitability, but their posting fees were about 1500. But the name escapes me.
reply
Man, now I'm curious about which one. I know ~podcasts charged 1K (which is pretty much why I never posted there, in addition to the fact that most podcasts I want to share make sense in specific territories), but it looks like it's also archived.
