You're touching on what I think might be the fundamental problem with territories is. They have to be expensive enough to support the cost of maintaining and developing Stacker News.

100ksats per month might be too high for many territories to turn a profit, as well as being too low to support the site.

Ultimately, there will need to be some sort of pricing mechanism for territories, but the goal will be (and should be) profit maximization for SN.

True maybe I am a bit extreme because I’m seeing territories I want to post to no longer exist so now I’m like where do I post it. But then I also think if the cost to keep a territory went down would these still be alive?

This is not evidence of the model being fundamentally broken. It's evidence of us being really early. People are trying it out and some are finding that their territory idea didn't work out the way they hoped.

Other territories are taking form and developing really nicely.

I have my own concerns about the model being fundamentally broken, but I don't think that's what we're seeing here.
