I agree, it's revolutionary! I still everyday more convinced that the whole reward system should be less explicit and not showcased as a selling point or an onboarding feature.
Considering we want to reach the world (and have HN, Reddit, LessWrong and others considering SN a competitor) the entry barriers that SN has currently in place for new users are really high. One need to know what a LN wallet is (if custodial or non-custodial... that give head hakes to many probably), understand bitcoin (because that's what we mostly talk about around here).
The breadth of conversation beyond just Bitcoin has really expanded since territories so we are moving in the right direction in that regard.
I think you were on the right track creating the territory specific banners etc. Territories can play a role in bringing in new users who aren't necessarily into bitcoin and expand the subject matter on SN even further. We have brought some people over from twitter and Nostr to talk sports and participate in pools and contests. Now, they all are bitcoiners but they aren't coming here to talk about Bitcoin. They might do that while they are here but it is not the main reason.

You are right, territories expanded a bit the kind of conversations we are having here. That's why I started ~Design. The whole thing probably just need more time.
Would something like this be good or bad for SN?
That's what people are used to... upvote, downvote
