Manifold are increasing the costs of market creation. Some creators worry they won't be able to afford to create all the good markets they want to create. But the high cost is needed because Manifold are also removing house subsidies, so markets will be super wiggly without a high starting subsidy (which is where the market creation cost goes).
But I say wiggly markets are basically fine; you just need to use more limit orders to get liquidity. (Big fan of limit orders here.) My proposal is to let creators choose what price to pay, with the understanding that if they put in less, the market won't be as good.
If it is possible to choose what to pay to create a yes/no market, before resolution date (17th November), market resolves YES. (Needs to be in the creation interface - the ability to add a subsidy straight after creating the market obviously doesn't count.)
@lisamarsh the proposal to introduce a single cheaper tier would not resolve this YES, but I don't necessarily require complete freedom. Like, if you can set in increments of 10 mana, that would be fine.
