Manifold is obviously quite libertarian and that appeals to many of us, but I think the rating system and giving wide deference to creators is clumsy when most users, especially new ones, just want to bet on the plain content of the market without having to research who made it and whether they will blatantly lie.

We've been very fortunate to have good market creators on the most popular markets, but Manifold's reputation could have been completely ruined if e.g. the most popular LK-99 market was made by a troll. This poll was brought on this market which has an obviously incorrect resolution, but this isn't really an infrequent occurrence, and I think it turns off a lot of new users.
