I get rather annoyed at the amount of low-effort markets made here that get plenty of traders, so I decided to try to understand if there's actually any incentive for writing good descriptions and criteria. This market predicts the outcome of the following experiment:
Starting at market close, for the next 10 eligible* markets I will create, I will flip a coin. If it comes up heads, I will not write a description for the market. I will not clarify the resolution criteria either. If tails, I will create the market normally. After a week, I will note how many traders the market got. I will then add the missing description where it's needed.
If the average traders in a market that I didn't write a description for are higher, this resolves YES.
*Eligible markets are markets where I want to write a description, but a description will not be strictly necessary, and the length of the market is more than a week. Only eligible markets will be counted
