Most markets are not free response, but some are. The feature is seen as normal and an unremarkable part of Manifold Markets. There is still no consensus on how to handle duplicate or overlapping answers in a way that doesn't create perverse incentives. For example, some markets reward taking an existing answer and adding one or two sentences to make it more precise.

People don't like to lock up an Ante in order to give an answer, preferring to be able to sell at a profit once others buy in.

About half of markets are free response, about half are not; it's just a feature that opens up new possibilities but that will quickly just feel like a normal unremarkable part of Manifold Markets.

A minority of markets are free response, but the free response feature is unremarkable and just a standard part of Manifold Markets.

It has confusing edge case incentives and people are hesitant about investing a lot in them.

Hey guys, let's try this out! We will see how people use the new Free response market type over the next month. Then I will pick the answer that I think best describes the consensus view of this feature on March 15th. Cheers.

I suggest that you pay out not to the best answer, but according to whatever distribution seems fair.
