We also discussed a little bit to add a weekly plan and not have any discounts between plans, so a month would cost as much as 4 weeks and a year would cost as much as 12 months. These options would then just exist for your convenience.
The idea was that the discounts were meant to incentivize long-term thinking founders but it seemed to have the negative effect: territories on more regular bills are better maintained than territories bought outright (also the reason we're debating removing once). Removing the discounts would also make it mentally easier to start a territory for a week and see how it goes. You're not punished for not knowing immediately if it will work out or not. I think there are many cool ideas for territories but having to pay and commit to a territory idea for at least a whole month is maybe too risky.
But we already have too many territories so we want to see some churn first before we add an option for even more territories or have a better interface to discover territories.

If you feel like there are too many territories already, why make them cheaper?

We want more territories (especially when we build what's required to support them). We just want fewer people unhappy with territories, and given we've been forced to neglect them, people are more likely to be unhappy with them as-is. Reducing the cost is mostly aimed at increasing the benefit to existing territory owners.

As a territory participant but not an owner (with no current plans to change that), weekly seems like it would lead to lots of territories fizzling out early, which might get frustrating to users (though maybe as an add-on? So you can go weekly after a month/year/etc?).

To me, the only real option is to pay for lifetime because rent-seeking each month or year only drives up costs over time.
I agree that a different way to discover territories would be beneficial so that the default setting is not to see every single post in every territory. I’m working on decluttering this is ~memes so there’s fewer one-off memes shared directly within the territory and more commenting within fewer posts.
Maybe increase the fee for new lifetime founders with a rent to own option?
