Most markets are not useful/fun as there isn't enough betting volume

Little incentive to predict on long-term markets

Can't reduce percentages of clearly-wrong responses in free-response markets, without buying a bit of everything else

10%10%

It's hard to find the markets I want to bet in

4%8%

Making new markets isn't subsidized enough since daily free question got turned off

4%5%

Impossible to selectively remove notifications from specific markets or people. I have received 40 notifications from this market alone 😅

4%4%

Lack of reputation or delegation features

It's very hard to glance at my bets to find which I should update on

No sustainable way to resolve markets if the market creator decides to ride off into the sunset

ANTE/SUBSIDY

3%3%

No real money trading (withdrawing Mana to bank account as USD)

Can't create markets for information, as they don't get enough traction (even if adding liquidity)

Free response market mechanism (DPM) is problematic

Can't search for people

The search feature is impossible to use

Things change frequently, often without much documentation.

Unable to set specific accounts to ignore (it is fine for Manifold to not ban even hardcore Putin supporters like Enopoletus Harding - but every time I see his avatar with Z placed there to support Russian invasion, I prefer to leave site)

3%1.2%

A lot of mechanisms like ANTE, etc... have a negative impact on portfolio value

1%0.7%

Can't edit comments

Unable to hide markets that are of zero interest to me

This market is a poll! Write down your answer and vote on others' responses. This market will resolve to the proportion of votes each answer receives over the course of the week. To vote, reply to an answer and write "+1" as the first two characters in your post. You can vote once per answer on as many answers as you like. The proposer of an answer cannot vote on their answer (this will help make it easier for me to tally everything up once the market closes). Please limit your answers to current bugs and features on the Manifold platform today, i.e. "Elon Musk still hasn't joined" or "Prediction markets are a form of gambling" would not be valid answers.

Bug?: Leaderboards seems to include mana one buys. At least it isn't clear how some I checked are in the top weekly even though they won unmeaningful amounts of markets?

@MP Prior to June 1, bets weren't public, so visiting their profile won't show you everything. Here's a big market from before then: https://manifold.markets/Duncan/will-russia-invade-ukraine-before-t As for the weekly leaderboard, are you using the All and Profit filters?

@MP The overall leaderboard does include unrealized gains/losses on unresolved markets, not just closed ones. It doesn't include purchased mana, tips, manalinks, etc I believe.

@M +1 useful feedback to gather

@Duncan -1 probably the best feature for long term functionality

@agentydragon +1 would prefer option to launch with 10-20 (illiquid but can grow if active)

@FRCassarino +1

@agentydragon +1 !!!

@jack it's much less easy to purchase the wrong number of shares if you are just operating in the same asset the whole time. This also feels like a discontinuity between scalar and free response markets, so it feels more like two entirely separate systems
