I don't have a real point to this, I just spend a lot of time driving around and thinking about things so I thought I'd share.

Although I haven't been a member of this community for that long, it has very quickly become the platform I use the most, by a very large margin. The pay to post nature of SN forces you to consider what you're doing instead of just vomiting out nonsense. Or, at least consider whether or not the nonsense will be entertaining.

My enjoyment of this platform has made me consider it's long term growth. I don't have any suggestions, or speculations, and I'm not very technical or business savvy. So I just started looking at SN as an online property that I want to increase the value of.

The only way I know how to increase property value is with investing, effort, and/or money. That's why I decided to make my own little garden (territory).

I'm sure nobody would complain if they could sell their vegetables at a profit, but that's not why they do it. It's a fun and rewarding hobby that has the added benefit of adding value to your property if it's nice enough.

Even though my territory isn't "profitable" it's created a lot of fun conversations and is very high among the top territories for comments. So, regardless of it's profitability, I'm going to keep puttering around in my garden for the foreseeable future. I enjoy it, and who knows, if i tend my garden properly, maybe I'll even be able to sell my vegetables at a farmers market in the future.
