What do you think when the first sub will become profitable?

And what do you think how many subs will be left next month? lol

I predict chaos as soon as the income is even close to material to a territory.

Unless there are features to prevent duplicate purposes.

Eg. If, ~DogsAndCats gets popular, we'll see ~DogAndCat, ~DoggyAndKitty, ~CatsAndDogs, etc

I agree

With more content and from different topics in the same place, it is going to be harder to be a curator. Maybe we need some kind of filtering territories setting. But for now it is ok without it. It is exciting to see this development.

different topics in the same place

what do you mean with this? aren't territories trying to achieve the opposite?

reply

Oh yes it is true. but when seeing home, you see them all. Before territories, a curator could just see home to read all posts and not miss anything interesting.
Maybe this leads to some curators reading only in some territories but you have to go switching territory one by one. It is easier to see home. But with many territories, the home is going to be wild.

Do you think we could have some user setting like custom feeds where the user could make some lists to group territories by categories?

reply

I think I am confused if you mean the front page with home or /recent of home because of this:

Before territories, a curator could just see home to read all posts and not miss anything interesting.

if you mean hot: a curator isn't supposed to read hot but recent. hot is already curated

if you mean recent: that's still the case, no? since everything still shows up there?

Do you think we could have some user setting like custom feeds where the user could make some lists to group territories by categories?

not sure about the categories part but i think a territory filter (with multi selection) will definitely be useful.

territories will have subterritories. so they should already be grouped by category in some sense at least.

but it's all a big WIP :) i am still reviewing the code for territories that was already released, lol

I think ~earth is doing quite well so maybe that is the one which will be the first profitable one (/cc @birdeye21). Just not sure when. But I haven't looked through all territories. There are quite a lot of them already, lol

interesting choice. btw, see territory description:

preferably include why.

sooo... why do you think so? :)

btw, I did send this sub to a friend because I know they are very much into retrogaming.

Seeing that @nout was the founder was also a pleasant surprise :)

It will be a balance... it's the eternal discussion about categories or tags, and how to structure knowledge. I see this like a personal knowledge base but with hundred of people pulling from one side or another to gave shape.

Well porn is always a good one, so I just founded thay one.

Now all I need is people wanting to post there nudes for sats.

reply

I was in a mood where I considered posting a pic of me topless.
I see the nsfw territory as archived now.
What happened?

Most will be closed in the next few months but a handful will remain and thrive.

I think it will depend on the demand for each territory so let's wait and see how the free SN market moves. For instance, I created a Spanish territory hoping to attract some Spanish-speakers but it hasn't moved a lot so far. So I guess it will be hard to keep it alive if there's not enough interest.

i think the price is a bit high to run a terrority. I'd start 3 more if i could but that's just too expensive.

welcome my third visitor, come inside, come inside, we're going to find the prediction market that you're looking for soon. or is the prediction market going to find you? :)

view on www.youtube.com
hard to say, but I think the current subs are from the people truly into that topic and want to see more of it, so they are laying the ground for it - they'd know they are paying for it and won't be profitable for some time.

yeah, that's true but we didn't expect so many subs immediately, lol

guess we just have to wait for a month and see :)

hard to predict ... but this makes it extra interesting
