224 sats \ 6 replies \ @siggy47 4 Jul \ on: Does fee affect your choice in which territory to post in? meta
I must admit it has affected me a few times. As a territory owner I try to keep fees reasonable. I'm not great with analytics. @davidw could probably give us a great analysis.
You shouldn't think of this as "admitting" anything. Making these decisions is how price discovery happens. If we want SN to be the best version of itself, then we need to be price sensitive.

Other than that a few territories used to get thousands of sats from me every month and now they get zero? No.

The question/s I see here is:
-
Do you get rewarded in the Stacker pool reward by contributing a sat amount? If the answer is: Yes, the algorithm rewards by what you spend.
-
Price discovery is about service so does your territory serve you or does it serve others?
Yes, I will definitely not post if someone is demanding 1000 sats. That will be a salary in one week one day and I will shop around or not post at all.
It's like pulp fiction (not the movie), in the 1990s 7-Eleven would sell books on a small 24" x 24" kiosk that rotated. I found Kurt Vonnegut and Tom Robbins in those selections. I read BLUEBEARD by Vonnegut after buying it in the store. Books were cheap and profitable to vendors. Now 7-Eleven is a big food vendor in nearly every square foot.
Stacker is basically a vanity press but it's also with great people writing good things and sharing great and banal ideas.
I've considered getting my own territory but I not confident in exactly what I would do other than point one of my domains at it.

The relevant question when posting in one of those territories is whether or not you recoup the cost of posting.
I don't think Stacker News is big enough, yet, that there's a huge difference in visibility across territories, so it's hard to justify having a much higher price.
I'm in the same boat as you wrt territories. If the right opportunity presents itself, I'd like to buy one, but so far I haven't seen an attractive enough option.
