In this one, you submit popular or mainstream ideas to see if people think they are overrated. It never resolves - the idea is that people will bet YES on ideas that they agree are overrated.

A few things to note:

  • Just because someone submits an answer doesn't mean they think it's overrated. They may have just submitted it to see if others think it's overrated.

  • The intent is to see how overrated people think the ideas are, not how bad they are. So an idea that is bad but held by very few people still might not be considered overrated, and even an idea that's kind of good but overhyped could be considered overrated.
