This page lets you spend M$1000 to buy a Destiny subscription. I don't think it's very clear about that though, and I initially misunderstood it to give you M$1000 if you already had a Destiny subscription. I was curious exactly how it worked and whether it was possible to get free mana by guessing someone else's username, so I input the username "test" to see what would happen. Turned out that was a valid username, so it took M$1000 from me.
At least one other person has also been confused by that page's wording and bought a subscription without knowing it would cost them mana.
Resolves YES if I get that mana back. Resolves NO if that hasn't happened by the end of February 2023.

We're now up to a third person who is... confused. About something. I have no idea what they thought would happen, but they certainly seem confused.

@IsaacKing seems like you're the one who's confused LULW but we did figure it out in the help channel so we good
@DavidChee The whole "new to Manifold?" section makes no sense if that page is aimed towards people buying things with mana. If someone is familiar enough with Manifold to have made enough profit to be spending M$1000 on something like this, why would those people need a how-to guide?
@IsaacKing This was actually the first page I ended up on when I learned about #manifold from #Destiny #Streamer.
I think it's a good landing screen for a streamer-specific promo.
Just my faded than a hoe opinion tho
@Sex That seems like a problem with Manifold's flow of introducing users to the site. New users shouldn't be first shown a page asking them to pay mana that they don't yet have.
@IsaacKing Well it gives an immediate goal to work towards.
an incentive to actually use the site and begin collecting mana and learn the process.
