Okay, I'll take the free money.

Whaaaales? Where are you?

bought Ṁ1 of NO

Would like to buy more to indicate personal ease of market creation, but the existence of whales makes me uneasy on meta markets. Especially when it would only take ~$10 to bump it to ~85%.

bought Ṁ100 of NO

85% is a high threshold and puts the onus on the YES side.

bought Ṁ200 of YES

I agree with Connor, it should be on the markets page. And also on the profile dropdown, why not?

bought Ṁ300 of YES

I think the create market interface should also show up on the markets page (https://manifold.markets/markets) or a Home tab should be added next to the links to Communities and Markets. Perhaps Home could be renamed to Feed?

bought Ṁ1 of YES

Yes, definitely. But it's okay. And moreover and I suspect the lack of a link from the markets page -- or, perhaps, market search result page -- is a temporary oversight that will be fixed shortly.

bought Ṁ1 of NO

Eh no qualms here. Manifold’s biggest differentiator is the ease of creating markets so makes sense to me that would be front and center a la other content publishing platforms like FB or Twitter.

bought Ṁ30 of NO

I have not found it odd whatsoever. Current system seems fine & fun, where questions creations are treated casually by the interface as well as the mechanics.

bought Ṁ1 of NO

What do you all suggest instead?

bought Ṁ5 of YES

I don’t know what this market’s going to say at close, but…it is.
