Mira speculates someone fooled the site admins.

predictedNO

@MichaelWheatley We know that account was created in association with @Aella interview. So I don’t understand the reasoning?

predictedNO

@BTE I bought 20,000 YES shares; you'll have to take it up with Mira.

predictedNO

@MichaelWheatley LOL!! Nice! You said it all with that bet!!

predictedYES

wake up, notice Lex's market and this market trading at 99%, place Ṁ500 bet

easiest Ṁ5 I ever made, gotta celebrate these tiny wins

@42irrationalist Profit is a habit :)

@LexFridman Welcome to Manifold :)

@LexFridman Great to have you here!

What is love, he asks with glee
Soon he'll see, a trading spree
On Manifold's new market floor
Lex Fridman trades -> like a whore

What fraction of new users are active on manifold after a week?

Since December 2022, it has hardly crossed 30%, mostly in the 20s though occasionally lower, so i don't get why this market keeps trading above 40

Why is this so high? @LexFridman joined manifold, perhaps around the time of a possible episode recording, made two trades on markets mentioning him, and has been inactive since. Why has this market been above 75% for so long?

predictedNO

@firstuserhere one could argue there is a whole 11 months left

predictedYES

@firstuserhere also this

predictedNO

@PatrickDelaney the retention rate hovers around 50% after a month has passed

predictedYES

@firstuserhere Lex bought shares in the fact that he'd make a market

predictedNO

@DesTiny let's see if/when that podcast comes out. If he bet during a podcast just to play around, then it doesn't mean much

predictedNO

@firstuserhere and i think this market should converge to resemble that retention rate eventually

predictedYES

@firstuserhere that could be true, but I think he'd atleast read what the market was about, or maybe he specifically did that to trick people and it's shown in the podcast. idk

predictedNO

@DesTiny To @firstuserhere 's poin if he bet on himself on a whim as a quick way to try out Manifold, he holds absolutely no value in his mind to his free internet points because he effectively left the platform.

predictedYES

@PatrickDelaney that could be true
