that territories may not be the best way to do this.
Not at all, they are if you provide the options. With SubStacker approach, looks' like you aimed to change what SN has been build for. A communities' hub. This does not mean that, provided with the right options, a territory funder could manage a territory as substack like, where the founder is the only one posting and sending our newsletters to the territory subscribers (that have an email attached t the account).
I'd not underevaluate the option to allow stackers t create new subterritories, or contribute to existing territories;
This newsletter option should be available in the same way to other territories managed as community and provide them the same option to its subscribers.
It's about priorities, and I'd always prioritize the community. Yes SN is a business and need ways to bring more users first, then monetize if the aims to remain sustainable and relevant for the long run. Play well and it will happen.
Summarized: territories could have the options to:
  • Enable subterritories creation1
  • Allow posting to --> select @stacker(s) / everyone / justMe
  • Send Newsletter via Email2 --> Weekly / biweekly / Montly / Custom (ie. 21 days)

Re: note 2. I do not use AI in the curation of AI posts :-)

I know :) was just saying that it could be useful to categorize posts under different subsections. True is that it should be responsibility of the territory founder to curate the contents, however I recognize that automating it could be beneficial

I know how to automate it with AI, but, it'd be one or two weeks work because you'd want NLP combined with inverse chatbot and then work the word distance math, not chatbot spitting out bs. I'm not ready to spend that kind of time on the process yet.
Right now, I yolo'd a script to parse text from the index (where I just c&p the index entries I like), then I look up the post ID and i throw it all in a spreadsheet. Because of this manual process I get to read/bookmark every SN post I like other than the AI ones too, because I look at every title of every post of the entire week right now. So I get personal added value from doing it manually; besides that it keeps me sane to have something to not automate.
