We are also trying again n Rrrr...
that territories may not be the best way to do this.
Not at all, they are if you provide the options. With SubStacker approach, looks' like you aimed to change what SN has been build for. A communities' hub. This does not mean that, provided with the right options, a territory funder could manage a territory as substack like, where the founder is the only one posting and sending our newsletters to the territory subscribers (that have an email attached t the account).
I'd not underevaluate the option to allow stackers t create new subterritories, or contribute to existing territories;
This newsletter option should be available in the same way to other territories managed as community and provide them the same option to its subscribers.
It's about priorities, and I'd always prioritize the community. Yes SN is a business and need ways to bring more users first, then monetize if the aims to remain sustainable and relevant for the long run. Play well and it will happen.
Summarized: territories could have the options to:
- Enable subterritories creation1
- Allow posting to --> select
@stacker(s)
/everyone
/justMe
- Send Newsletter via Email2 -->
Weekly
/biweekly
/Montly
/Custom
(ie. 21 days)
Footnotes
It's awesome. But I think it must contain the idea that you can receive bitcoin for your content, it's half of the selling point of SN (the other half being able to curate good content by supporting it with bitcoin).

I have a feeling it gets pretty complicated tech-wise, especially because sats are involved--i imagine there are some thorny man in the middle problems. Makes me wish I knew more about the architecture of the internet.

A very real problem that several others have pointed out is that this flirts with mission creep.
If you had to distill it down to one thing, what is it that SN does best?
I don't think it is something that should be so explicit, at least not for the broader audience. And it will probably just attract more assmilkers and automated bots that aim to exploit and profit from the "algo".
How explicit YT and other platforms use the "monetize your content" for marketing? They probably do in the /for-creators page, not to attract the broader audience to digest the contents.
A detail SN should focus on is in defining the personas. @Scoresby, start with research, it will feed the execution.

Territories don't exactly compete with each other, but in the very adjacent mental spaces that are popular on SN, they may end up eating each other's lunches.
I see this most with ~bitcoin. So many topics fit under that umbrella that could go in other places. But this is a bitcoin site and so they go there.

Yes: it's true that one's own territory could reduce to some level one's support of other territories.
In my mind, the territory-as-newsletter idea would be used for long-form pieces while shorter thoughts or links would still get posted in subject territories.
The tension you describe, though, is true for the founder of any new territory: it competes a little with at a few other territories. The difference with a territory-as-newsletter is that it wouldn't attempt to draw other writers away (as a new subject territory might).

It just occurred to me that this idea will also be highly complementary with cross-posting.
One of the things that prevented me from founding ~Undisciplined, was the existence of lots of territories that I liked supporting. Cross-posting, assuming they get the incentives properly calibrated, removes that tradeoff (to a degree).
As much as we love it I would try to avoid the term Zap, since anyone who sees it at a glance will not understand what we are talking about. Bitcoin is explicit to everyone!

I was actually surprised that I felt the need to do a bit of a recalibration once I took over ~econ. I used to feel a bit of responsibility to help support everyone else's territories, since I wasn't running one.
This is why I don't understand people's desire to subscribe to newsletters. Even if you're my favorite writer, I don't want to receive an email version of your latest article. I just want to know that you wrote something new and then go read it wherever you published it. There is absolutely zero reason for your article to be in my inbox next to my utility bill.
I don't understand this point. Isn't the mail with the article inside also letting you know that they wrote something wherever they publish it?
How else do you want to be notified? Email is the only thing everyone has to get notified about something next to visiting the platform yourself regularly.

I put sometimes translations at NOSTR but yeah, my native language is español and it's funny to come here par hablar dos idiomas. Latinoamerica presente.
I know how to automate it with AI, but, it'd be one or two weeks work because you'd want NLP combined with inverse chatbot and then work the word distance math, not chatbot spitting out bs. I'm not ready to spend that kind of time on the process yet.
Right now, I yolo'd a script to parse text from the index (where I just c&p the index entries I like), then I look up the post ID and i throw it all in a spreadsheet. Because of this manual process I get to read/bookmark every SN post I like other than the AI ones too, because I look at every title of every post of the entire week right now. So I get personal added value from doing it manually; besides that it keeps me sane to have something to not automate.
Top filter is not a good way to attribute the bounty, simply because it could be easily manipulated. Allocate the prize evaluating performances, reach, and conversion would be much fairer.

You are right. What I am describing may very well work better as a fork.
