The idea of allowing people to buy advertising https://dao.ad/ for their markets makes sense if the goal is to increase discovery and participation. A prediction market can be interesting, but it still needs enough visibility for people to notice and engage with individual questions. I would see advertising as potentially useful, although there should probably be some limits to prevent money from becoming the main factor determining which markets receive attention. Organic interest, market quality, and liquidity still matter. The interesting part is finding a balance where paid exposure can help a good market get discovered without making the platform feel dominated by whoever has the biggest promotional budget.

This can resolve YES :D. @MP

Seems like this should resolve YES now.

How about if the mechanism is less direct, how does this resolve? For instance, if adding liquidity causes "the algorithm" to place your market higher.
