I think the current territory fee structure incentivizes good posts, and I think the idea behind owning a territory is that you’re investing sats and possibly some moderation time into seeing high quality posts in the topic you’ve chosen. I would love it if the ownership fee went down, and if it did I’d also lower the posting fee (which probably isn’t going to cover the ownership fee either way), but I think lower cost means an overwhelming amount of territories, and the entire thing could get out of hand very quickly.
All that being said, I think it could make sense for someone to make sure duplicates aren’t getting created.
Also - fwiw, I would have probably just paid the one time fee for my territory, but I know this feature is probably going to change over time, so I’m a little worried about paying 3m sats only for the fee to go down or for permanent ownership to get phased out. I’d be curious to hear more of the dev’s vision and thoughts for this. cc @k00b @kr @ek

We have no plans to lower fees or phase out permanent ownership. As long as I'm alive, in charge, and stacker news' servers are running, permanent ownership means permanent.
