great post.
Thoughts on b) SN should earn some revenue from the territories and at this point because territory rev isn't a significant amount 50% is fine. Eventually this will need to come down. I think territories are analogous to franchises in the meat space world. Typically a franchisee would pay a franchise fee and then an ongoing royalty on the sales. Generally around 8%-12%.
one clarification here, Stacker News isn’t earning the remaining 50% of territory revenue.
The revenue is split equally between territory owners and creators (via the rewards pool).
Good point. I had forgotten they went to rewards.

This is really good point which however makes it harder to track the actual territory revenue. Otherwise, @grayruby’s loss would be 97% in the second month which is like wow.
