I think I have spent something like 10-25% of my net-worth here boosting questions and I wonder if it is worth it.

Depends. What is your goal with boosting. Are you trying to get accurate aggregate predictions? Make mana from trader bonuses? Climb up in the creator rank?

@Shump Get more attention and activity in general on the market - I don’t care about getting mana but I do have a goal of reaching top 100 creators by end of 2024 q1

@rb Thank you for sharing, very useful

@SG is there actually a way for me to find out how much Mana I have spent boosting questions?

Probably depends what you want. I do not think it pays back on the trader fees, but I think it will attract more traders. (Similar to liquidity increasing).

@BTE what do you think?
