Well-articulated, thanks for sharing.
I expect most territories to fail or to be passion projects financed at a loss by the founders. We are in the territory boom phase right now but I expect we will see great attrition over the next couple months as territories drop off or merge (maybe it's not viable to have individual art, music, and movie territories and they meld into one. Maybe AI and tech become one. Health and Fitness become one. Etc).
The secondary effects are really interesting to me -- I think this is going to be a fertile experiment, as territories exert subtle (and maybe not so subtle) influence on the general tenor of SN. It's already pretty noticeable -- for instance, today's weekend book recs thread, in the ~BooksAndArticles territory, is more diverse than it usually is, and people who've posted there have been zapped harder. An injection of energy and interest.
Some of that will pass, of course. Still, cool to see now.
My prediction is that in three months SN will look nothing like it has looked since inception. Even ~bitcoin will be transformed. Some people will hate that, of course, but the world moves forward. Having SN as a vital and thriving testament to what cool things can exist only bc of btc / lightning, and not just another btc forum where btc is discussed endlessly by its acolytes, will do more to further the cause of btc than anything else I can think of in the product space.
Look forward to your end-of-month wrapup!
