Oh, I didn't think about the economic ramifications.
Let's say for some reason a sub gets really popular -- oh, like maybe a K-Pop fan sub. And that attracts a lot of new users to Stacker News. Maybe numbering even more than those of us who wouldn't visit the K-pop sub.
But there's no cross-benefit. Those who came for the K-Pop stay in the K-Pop. And the K-Pop sub gets few visits from those who didn't join SN for the K-Pop.
What happens to the yield? Do those K-Pop Stackers earn yield from the same "pool" and at the same proportion as a "trusted" contributor of SN (root, or whatever the main SN is defined as?)?

Subs would ideally be economically isolated - as would trust. This is part of the concern of users setting up subs - the community is small and a strong wind, some bigger community, could completely knock it off course.
