This market resolves yes if Manifold implements a feature to hide or otherwise substantially reduce the visibility or salience of unimportant markets (e.g. gambling markets, personal questions without relevance to the world, or memes) by the resolution date.
I'm thinking about how much time to invest into creating high-quality Manifold questions going forward, or whether to look out for other prediction platforms.
Another way to read this question is: Can I direct my work contacts to Manifold to make predictions about serious topics as part of their job, or will I need to be worried about them seeing weird markets about whether a market will have at least X traders, who will hook up with whom, etc.?
Excellent request. I enjoy a certain cross-section of the fun topics. But the ability to choose the market types that populate our Browser selections implies more control than we currently have. I find even clicking “less like this” has only a very temporary effect.
The comments on this question I asked might also help… people’s answers got me the functionality I was looking for.
