See the example above. This seems like a waste, since the main purpose of ads is to bring in new traders.

Resolves YES immediately if a Manifold representative reports that it should, NO if I don't hear anything by January 1, 2025.

Update 2024-18-12 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Market will resolve YES if it turns out that boosting in its previous form doesn't exist anymore
- Market will resolve NO if no response is received by 2025

Update 2024-30-12 (PST): - Market will resolve NO when it closes if boosting is determined to be ineffective based on current usage patterns. (AI summary of creator comment)

@traders Heads up that this is probably going to resolve NO (see below). The market is at 92%, so you might want to bet it down

@mods Any way we could get an update on this? Weirdly, I don't think I've seen any boosted markets at all for at least a few months, but the Boost button does exists, and the text still mentions "Users earn a reward for clicking."
As it says in the description, if I don't hear anything by 2025, I'll resolve NO. If it turns out that boosting in its previous form doesn't really exist anymore, I'll resolve YES

@CDBiddulph not 100% sure, maybe it was not possible temporarily, but right now you can see boosted markets again at https://manifold.markets/explore?top-tab=feed

@Agh Oh, I see. Somehow, despite the being a button at the bottom of the mobile app just for the Feed, I always use the Search view with the magnifying glass to find new markets. I guess this is partly just because it's the default view when you open the app. If many other people use Manifold the same way I do, maybe boosting is not such a good investment anymore

I'll probably resolve NO when the market closes
