Background: we launched ads a month ago, and have been thinking about a v2 version.

We're now building the next version and it will be released within ~2 weeks.

Current plan for v2:

• All ads are single promoted markets

• Promoted markets appear in your feed

• You still get paid for watching them, and betting is optional (but accessible)

• We optionally target the ad based on a provided interest (e.g. "AI" or "NFL")

This market is about whether this new v2 version of ads will reach 1 million mana purchased within 2 months of launch.

The first version of ads hit about 70k paid in 1 month. This would be about 500k per month or slightly more than 7x the volume.

Edit: To clarify, the relaunched ads feature is called "boosting" your market. In your feed these markets are labeled "Boosted".
