This must occur.
I'm going to need to move sats about to pay founder fee, but I'll sure give it a whirl.
I am concerned that how expensive it is to create a sub/territory that it'll price out a lot of discussion. But we shall see.

Valid concern but I think when there is more data about how much sats founders earn back, I think we will think differently about this :)

There is a founding new territory wave right now but I think that will die down. It should be cost prohibitive to create a sub otherwise you will have chaos and subs created for everything. I almost prefer you guys didn't offer the 100k sats/month option outside of the first 30 days. After 30 days you should have to decide if you want to commit for a year or not. Or maybe you even lower it to 50k sats for the first month as a trial so people can test their ideas but then make is 1M sats for a year if they want to keep going. Or possibly a 6 month option. 550k sats.

It will be difficult to break even solely from revenue the sub generates. Need around 3k sats a day to break even. That is feasible if you are posting, replying, earning zaps and rewards. I received 6k sats yesterday but only 120 were from the sub revenue. First day and not a full day but I would guess you probably need 10-15 highly engaged posts a day per sub to break even just on sub revenue. It will take awhile and many more stackers on the site to reach that point but we can get there. Tell your friends to get on SN.

I expect subs to peak over the next few days and then it will take a couple months of sub attrition to figure out which subs will stick around.

Absolutely only way to find out is to give it a shot

Try it for a month and see how it goes.
